Abstract

A 30 kW generator at the Taiwan Sugar Swine Farm in Taichung was used to collect data intended for long-term electricity generation. This three-part experimental study utilized a biogas with a 73% methane concentration. First, the effect of the biogas supply rate on generator performance at different excess air ratios is investigated. Second, the results from this study are compared with results obtained from work performed on a biogas with a 60% methane concentration. Finally, for a 73% methane concentration biogas, the effect on generator performance of preheating the inlet gas to different temperatures is investigated by applying a waste-heat recovery system.
