Types of Biogas Plant The biogas plants are built in different sizes and shapes depending on the process carried out. These plants are mainly classified as: Continuous or Batch Type Biogas Plants In the continuous type of biogas plant the biomass is fed regularly to the digester and it delivers the biogas continuously. Continuous type […]

The biogas is produced by digestion, hydrolysis and hydro-gasification. The composition of biogas is as follows: The presence of CO2, in biogas reduces its octane rating. The octane rating of biogas is 110 with CO2. In case the CO2 is removed from the biogas (CH4) its octane rating increases to about 130 as against the

The three most commonly used electrical test instruments are: the clamp-on amp meter, the AC voltmeter, and the Ohmmeter. These three meters are commonly known today as digital multimeters (DMM). It is vitally important that electrical personnel know how to correctly use a DMM. These meters are used to not only understand how an electrical

Variable Frequency Drive Working A variable frequency drive (VFDs) uses solid state electronic circuits to provide a signal to a motor to control its acceleration, deceleration, direction of rotation, torque, and horsepower. Drives do this by converting a fixed frequency (either 50 or 60 Hz) AC power source, to a variable frequency power supply to

Generally, it can be stated that a circuit breaker is intended to protect the electrical conductors in the circuit from overheating. It can also be stated that the equipment grounding conductor (EGC) is required by the NEC to be connected so that a low impedance fault current path is provided for the main purpose of

Molded Case Circuit Breakers or MCCB circuit breakers are black plastic–cased automatic switches. They are designed to primarily protect insulating materials from overheating. Molded case circuit breakers (MCCB) are by far the most commonly used breakers in residential, commercial, and industrial facilities. When an MCCB has opened (or “tripped”) to protect the circuit, it can

The term “power factor” (PF) is an expression of the relationship between the peak voltage and the peak current. Stated differently, the power factor is an expression of how far out of phase the voltage and current are to each other. What is power factor? Figure 1 shows both voltage and current peaks occurring at

A control panel is used to house instruments used for measurement, monitoring, protection, detection, control, and management of processes. For operational convenience, these panels are located in a control room as well as a field known as a local control panel.
