Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a biogas production device that is designed to handle and organize both dry and wet waste effectively, generating biogas from wet waste supplied by users, and ensuring equitable distribution of biogas corresponding to the amount of waste contributed.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Biogas production has become increasingly essential due to its environmental and energy benefits. Biogas, primarily composed of methane, is produced through the anaerobic digestion of organic materials like agricultural waste, food scraps, and animal manure. As the world faces challenges like climate change, rising energy costs, and waste management, biogas presents a sustainable solution to address these issues. The requirement for biogas production is driven by the need for renewable energy sources that reduce dependence on fossil fuels, which contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation. Biogas not only helps mitigate these emissions but also offers a means to manage organic waste more effectively, reducing landfill use and minimizing harmful pollutants like methane from waste sites. Moreover, biogas can be used for various purposes, including electricity generation, heating, and even as a vehicle fuel, making it a versatile energy source. The growing demand for clean energy alternatives, alongside the global push towards circular economies, has heightened the importance of biogas production. By converting waste into energy, biogas supports both environmental sustainability and energy security, contributing to the development of a more resilient and eco-friendly energy infrastructure.
[0003] Biogas production typically requires various equipment, including a digester, gas storage system, gas cleaning units, and a biogas utilization system. The digester is the core component where organic waste is broken down anaerobically to produce methane. It can be of different types, such as batch or continuous, and varies in size based on the scale of production. Gas storage tanks are used to collect and store the produced biogas until it is needed for energy generation. The gas cleaning system removes impurities like hydrogen sulfide, moisture, and carbon dioxide to improve the quality of the biogas. Finally, a biogas utilization system, which can include a generator or boiler, converts the biogas into electricity or heat. However, these systems come with drawbacks. The initial capital investment for setting up a biogas plant is relatively high, particularly for larger-scale operations. The maintenance of equipment, such as cleaning systems and digesters, can be costly and labor-intensive. Furthermore, operational inefficiencies may arise due to improper waste input, temperature fluctuations, or poor microbial activity. Storage of biogas is also challenging, as it requires robust infrastructure to avoid leaks and ensure safety. Additionally, scaling up biogas production can be difficult without consistent feedstock and infrastructure support.
[0004] EP1488855A1 produce a biogas, from biological waste and rubbish, the material is chopped and ground and at least partially biologically degraded in preparation. After chopping, the material is compressed to remove water before degrading. The water removal results in a material weight loss of at least 50% or at least 70% and preferably at least 75%. The biological degrading is by dry fermentation.
[0005] US2014349364A1 discloses a method for producing biogas by anaerobic digestion of organic matter may involve feeding organic matter suitable for biogas production to a first tank reactor, and in the first tank reactor, contacting the organic matter with biogas producing microorganisms for digestion under anaerobic conditions. The organic matter may be digested in the first tank reactor while producing biogas. The method may further involve providing digested sludge from an anaerobic digestion process in a second tank reactor, which differs from the first tank reactor, the digested sludge containing a desired composition of nutriments. The nutriments may be fed into the first tank reactor.

[0024] Figure 1 further illustrates plurality of iris pores 113 configured with the digestion chamber 109, a motorized stirrer 114 installed at base portion of the digestion chamber 109, a curing chamber 115 arranged underneath the digestion chamber 109, a second motorized lid 116 configured with the curing chamber 115, an electronic nozzle 117 configured with the curing chamber 115 and connected with the receptacle 112, an electronic inlet valve 118 configured with the curing chamber 115, a biogas tank 119 positioned within the housing 101 and connected with the curing chamber 115 via a first pipe, and an outlet valve 120 installed on the housing 101 and connected with the tank.
[0025] The proposed invention includes a housing 101 preferably in cuboidal shape incorporating various components associated with the device, developed to be positioned on a ground surface. The housing 101 is configured with multiple vessels 102 for storage of different type of dry waste. The housing 101 also features plurality of containers 103 for storage of different type of wet waste. The housing 101 is made up of any material selected from but not limited to metal such as stainless steel that ensures rigidity of the housing 101 for longevity of the device.
[0026] A user is required to access and presses a switch button arranged on the housing 101 to activate the device for associated processes of the device. The switch button when pressed by the user, opens up an electrical circuit and allows currents to flow for powering an associated microcontroller of the device for operating of all the linked components for performing their respective functions upon actuation.
[0027] The microcontroller, mentioned herein, is preferably an Arduino microcontroller. The Arduino microcontroller used herein controls the overall functionality of the components linked to it. The Arduino microcontroller is an open-source programming platform.
[0028] After the activation of the device, the user accesses a user interface which is installed in a computing unit linked with the microcontroller wirelessly by means of a communication module. The user interface enables the user to provide input regarding to create a profile and register within a database associated with the device. The communication module includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The registration of the user profile maintains the data of the user, adding waste in the vessels 102 and containers 103 and amount of biogas to be produced by the waste added by the user.
[0029] The mouth portion of the housing 101 is arranged with a motorized slidable lid 104 which is actuates by the microcontroller to open the housing 101. The slidable lid 104 comprises an arrangement used to open a housing 101 by sliding along a track or rail. It typically consists of a lid or cover that moves horizontally or vertically to reveal the contents inside. The track ensures smooth movement, often aided by rollers or guides. The lid is powered by a direct current (DC) motor which rotates the rollers of the lid to slide over the track of rail, such that allows the user to add the waste in the vessel and the containers 103.
[0030] Upon receiving of the user input, the microcontroller generates a command to activate an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105 integrated on the housing 101 for capturing multiple images of the vessels 102 and containers 103 for detecting type of the waste added by the user in the vessels 102 and containers 103. The imaging unit 105 incorporates a processor that is encrypted with an artificial intelligence protocol. The artificial intelligence protocol operates by following a set of predefined instructions to process data and perform tasks autonomously. Initially, data is collected and input into a database, which then employs protocol to analyze and interpret the captured images. The processor of the imaging unit 105 via the artificial intelligence protocol processes the captured images and sent the signal to the microcontroller.
[0031] The user is being monitored by the microcontroller via the imaging unit 105 while adding waste to the vessel and container. The housing 101 is crafted with an LED 106 (Light Emitting Diode) light which is actuated by the microcontroller to glow in case the user added waste in incorrect vessels 102 and containers 103. The LED 106 (Light Emitting Diode) is a semiconductor light source that emits light when current flows through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons. The color of the light is corresponding to the energy of the photons and is determined by the energy required for electrons to cross the band gap of the semiconductor thereby illuminates to alert the user regarding adding waste into incorrect vessels 102 and containers 103.
[0032] In case the user adds the waste in correct vessels 102 and containers 103, the microcontroller awards points to the user which is saved in the user’s profile. The housing 101 is configured with a bucket conveyer 108 which is arranged underneath the vessels 102. Each of the vessels 102 is integrated with a motorized iris lid 107 which is actuated by the microcontroller to dispense a suitable amount of dry wastes as per the user-defined amount of the biogas to be produced.
[0033] Each of the motorized iris lid 107 s, mentioned herein, consists of a ring in bottom configured with multiple slots along periphery, multiple number of blades and blade actuating ring on the top. The blades are pivotally jointed with blade actuating ring and the base plate are hooked over the blade. The blade actuating ring is rotated clock and antilock wise by a DC motor embedded in ball actuating ring which results in opening of the holes to dispense the dry wastes to the bucket.
[0034] The microcontroller then actuates the conveyer 108 to translate and transfer the dry waste in a digestion chamber 109 installed within the body. The conveyor 108 receives the dry waste and the conveyor 108 consists of a belt stretched across two or more pulley in close loop and one of the pulley is attached with a driven motor that is interlinked with the microcontroller. On actuation, the driven motor rotates the pulley which in turn results that of transferring the dry waste of the bucket into the digestion chamber 109.
[0035] Each of the containers 103 of the housing 101 are configured with a suction unit. The containers 103 are connected with the digestion chamber 109 via plurality of conduits. In accordance to the detected amount of biogas to be produced, the microcontroller determines an amount of different wet waste to be utilized. The microcontroller then actuates the suction units for withdrawing the wet waste from the containers 103 and transferring the wet waste to the digestion chamber 109. Each of the suction units operates by creating negative pressure to draw in air or fluid through a suction inlet. It works on concept of a vacuum pump that generates the necessary suction force. When activated by the microcontroller, the pump evacuates air from the suction inlet, creating a vacuum that causes atmospheric pressure to push the wet waste substance towards the inlet. This process is particularly useful suctioning wet waste from the containers 103. The collected wet waste is consequently directed into digestion chamber 109.
[0036] The vessels 102 and containers 103 are embedded with a weight sensor in order to detect the weight of the waste. The weight sensor used herein is a kind of a transducer. The weight sensor depends on the conversion of a load into an electronic signal. The signal is a change in voltage or current otherwise a frequency on the basis of load and the signal is sent to the microcontroller for processing in order to monitor weight of the waste in the vessels 102 and the containers 103. As soon as, the microcontroller evaluates the detected weight recedes a threshold value, the microcontroller sends an alert on the computing unit for notifying the user to re-fill the vessels 102 and containers 103.
[0037] Post transfer of the waste into the digestion chamber 109, the microcontroller actuates a first motorized lid 110 configured with the digestion chamber 109 to cover the mouth portion of the chamber 109. The first motorized lid 110 comprises of a lid connected to a motor via a shaft in view allowing the chamber 109 to cover the mouth portion. Upon actuation of the lid by the microcontroller, the motor starts to rotate in a clockwise/anticlockwise direction to impart rotational movement to the lid. Thus, closing the lid in view covering the chamber 109.
[0038] The housing 101 is arranged with a receptacle 112 storing anaerobic bacteria culture. The receptacle 112 is connected with an electronic valve 111 configured with the digestion chamber 109 via conduit. The microcontroller actuates the electronic valve 111 to dispense bacteria culture into the digestion tank. The electronic valve 111 operates by using sensors and actuators to manage the flow of bacteria culture into the digestion tank. When the microcontroller activates an associated solenoid valve, the valve open and allow the bacteria culture to flow. The flow is regulated by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from the microcontroller. This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure, and bacteria culture level in view of dispensing the bacteria culture as per the requirement, to allow digestion of the waste material for a pre-set time duration to obtain a slurry.
[0039] The base portion of the digestion chamber 109 is installed with a motorized stirrer 114 and that is actuates by the microcontroller for intermittently stirring the waste to allow even digestion by the bacteria. The motorized stirrer 114 comprises a rod that is configured with multiple propellers. The rod is rotated by the means of a DC (Direct Current) electric motor in order to provide motion to the propeller to mix up the waste and the bacteria uniformly and create a homogeneous mixture and further breaks the waste into finer particles, such that stirring the waste allows even digestion by the bacteria.
[0040] The microcontroller is integrated with a timer such that keep an accurate track on real-time of the digestion of the waste material. The timer includes a RTC (real time clock) comprises of a controller, oscillator and an embedded quartz crystal resonator. The function of RTC (real time clock) is to keep accurate track of time even when a power supply is turned off or the device is placed in low power mode.
[0041] As soon as the tracked time matches a pre-set time duration, the microcontroller actuates multiple iris pores 113 integrated with the digestion chamber 109 to obtain for dispensing the slurry to a curing chamber 115 positioned underneath the digestion chamber 109. The working of the iris pores 113 is similar to the working of the iris lid 107 as mentioned above.
[0042] The curing chamber 115 is equipped with a second motorized lid 116 and that is actuated by the microcontroller for covering mouth portion of the curing chamber 115. The working of the second motorized lid 116 is similar to the working of the first motorized lid 110 as mentioned above.
[0043] Post-closing of the curing chamber 115, the microcontroller actuates an electronic nozzle 117 configured with the curing chamber 115 and connected with the receptacle 112 to open for dispensing bacteria culture into the curing tank to allow production of biogas by the bacteria. The working of the electronic nozzle 117 is similar to the working of the electronic valve 111 as mentioned above.
[0044] The curing chamber 115 is embedded with a pressure sensor for detecting pressure of biogas generated within the curing chamber 115. The pressure sensor comprises of a sensing element known as diaphragm that experiences a force exerted by the biogas generated within the curing chamber 115. This force leads to deflection in the diaphragm that is measured and converted into an electrical signal which is sent to the microcontroller for detecting the pressure of the produced biogas.
[0045] The curing chamber 115 is configured with an electronic inlet valve 118 connecting a biogas tank 119 positioned within the housing 101 via a first pipe. As soon as, the microcontroller evaluates the detected pressure matches a preset threshold value, the microcontroller actuates an electronic inlet valve 118 to open for allowing transfer of the biogas to the biogas tank 119. The working of the electronic inlet valve 118 is similar to the working of the electronic valve 111 as mentioned above.
[0046] Post transfer of the produced biogas into the tank, the microcontroller sends an alert on the computing unit for notifying the user to collect biogas from the tank. The housing 101 is integrated with an outlet valve 120 such that connects with the tank. The user is enabled to access and collect the produced biogas from the outlet valve 120 into an auxiliary tank.
[0047] A battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the device to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the device.
[0048] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the housing 101 as disclosed in the invention contains vessels 102 for dry waste and containers 103 for wet waste, with the user interface wirelessly linked to the computing unit. Users creates profiles, register, and input commands for waste management. The microcontroller processes these commands, activating the motorized slidable lid 104 to open the housing 101 for waste input. The imaging unit 105 detects the waste type, and LEDs alert users to incorrect waste placement. Correct waste addition rewards points stored in the user profile. The microcontroller controls motorized iris lid 107 s on the vessels 102 to dispense dry waste as per user-defined biogas production goals, directing the waste onto the conveyor 108 to the digestion chamber 109. The suction units connected to the containers 103 withdraws wet waste for transfer to the digestion chamber 109. The motorized lid seals the chamber 109, where the electronic valve 111 dispenses anaerobic bacteria culture to digest the waste. The timer tracks digestion time, and once complete, iris pores 113 dispense the slurry into the curing chamber 115, where additional bacteria culture is added for biogas production. The pressure sensor detects when biogas reaches the threshold, triggering the alert for the user to collect it. Additionally, weight sensors monitor the waste levels in vessels 102 and containers 103, alerting users to refill when necessary. The motorized stirrer 114 ensures even digestion in the chamber 109, and the valve allows biogas collection in the auxiliary tank.
