High Rate Biomethanantion Power Project For Recovery Of Energy From
The Dairy Waste At Haibowal, Ludhiana
|
| |
|
This project
has been set up as the first of its kind demonstration project under the
UNDP / Global Environment Facility(GEF) programme of Ministry of New &
Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India, for development of high
rate biomethanation process. This project is a Sub-project among 16 such
projects being set up in the country on different waste streams. The
major objective of this project is to :
- Establish
a waste to energy plant for the treatment of cattle manure to generate
about 1MW power and organic fertiliser.
- On
successful implementation of the demonstration project, to install
similar projects (at this and other dairy complexes).
- Assimilate
the technology for possible replication.
- Reduce
Green House Gas emissions (CH4)

The
project has been setup inthe vicinity of Haibowal Dairy Complex,
Ludhiana, which is having more than 1.20 lacs cattle heads. This project
has been designed to utilise 235 tons of cattle dung daily for
recovering about 18,000 KWhs of electrical energy. The surplus energy
after meeting the in-house power requirement is being fed into theState
Grid. Besides the electrical energy, this project is also producing
almost 47 tons of valuable nutrient richbio-manure per day. Animal
droppings are a source of methane gas emission, a green house gas
contributing to global warming. A promising option towards reducing
these emissions, is to recover valuable heat or electrical energy from
this waste. This project is a step towards improving environment around
the Haibowal Dairy Complex, through scientific disposal of raw cattle
dung as the disposal of cattle dung has been a major source of pollution
and choking of the seweragesystems in the city.
This
project has lead to maj Land measuring 2.42 acres has been provided to PEDA by
Municipal Corporation, Ludhiana, on lease basis @ Rs. 1/- sqm for a
period of 25 years for which lease agreement has already been signed. or reduction in Green House Gas emissions i.e.
Methane (CH4) and also helped in scientific disposal and recovery of
energy from the animal dung in the dairy complex. |

The
project has been commissioned in Nov., 2004 and synchronized with the
PSEB grid. The project has been generating around 13 MWh per day. The
power so generated from the project is exported to PSEB grid. The
project is based on Biogas Induced Mixing Arrangement digester
technology (BIMA) patented which has been provided by M/s Entec Austria,
selected on the basis of international bidding done by MNRE, Government
of India. This project has been awarded the “Best Green Power Plant
in Asia” award by Asian Power to PEDA in September’2005 in
Bangkok. |
