How happy and sad is the use of biogas?

 According to Yu Bin, director of the Xiangfan Municipal Energy Office, Xiangfan has been building rural biogas digesters since the 1970s. Currently, the number of biogas digesters in the city is increasing at a rate of 50,000 to 60,000 per year. It has played a constructive role in building a well-off society and optimizing the environment in local rural areas.   Biogas construction can not only provide farmers with clean energy but also protect the environment. It is a good thing that benefits the country and the people and is very popular among farmers. However, farmers also have their worries. After each biogas digester is built and used for 2 to 3 years, the biogas production volume drops significantly because the sedimentation of biogas residue and biogas slurry cannot be removed in time. At this time, cleaning the residue and removing liquid becomes the key to whether the biogas digester can continue to be used effectively. Farmers urgently hope that the relevant departments at higher levels will strengthen the construction of rural biogas service systems. Not only will there be help in building biogas digesters, but they will also have a complete follow-up service system so that the biogas digesters can be used effectively for a long time.   Biogas has been promoted and used in rural areas for more than ten years. However, for farmers, biogas is a new thing. There is a process of understanding and using it. The construction and development of biogas also have a process of gradual improvement and improvement. In the process of development, a large number of biogas digesters across the country have experienced reduced efficiency or even scrapping due to various reasons. The main reason is that the biogas residue and biogas slurry cannot be removed in time.   For each individual farmer, the removal of digestate residue and slurry is a very difficult task. The standard biogas pool has a volume of 8 cubic meters, and the slag removal opening is a circular wellhead with a diameter of 60 cm and a depth of 2 meters. The biogas residue and slurry deposited in a biogas pool ranges from about 4 to 5 cubic meters. According to the usage specifications, in order to ensure normal gas production, an 8-cubic-meter biogas digester should discharge liquid once or twice a month, with about 100 kilograms of liquid discharged each time. The materials should be changed once a year. When changing materials, the amount of liquid and slag removal should be one-half to two-thirds of the total capacity of the biogas digester, that is, at least 4-5 cubic meters should be produced. According to farmers' reports, most of them cannot clean it every month, and the amount of liquid removed once a year reaches 4 cubic meters, and they are even more helpless. It is not easy to manually scoop out so much waste residue and liquid with buckets, and then carry it on the shoulders to remove it. A farmer from Sancha Road Village, Shihua Town, Gucheng County, Xiangfan City, told us that his family hired two laborers to remove biogas slurry and residue, and they worked for two days and spent 200 yuan. Nowadays, most of the young and middle-aged laborers in rural areas have gone out to work, and the "troops" left behind at home are mostly "troops 703861" (70 are old people, 38 are women, and 61 are children). It is not easy for these people to take care of the crops in the fields they are responsible for, and they are even more powerless to clean up the residue and slurry. With the current economic income level of farmers, only a very small number can spend hundreds of yuan to hire someone to clean it up. Due to the difficulty in removing biogas slurry and residue, many farmers regard biogas digesters as "disposable" products and let them develop.   At present, there are no domestic enterprises that produce effective equipment to help farmers regularly remove biogas residue and liquid. This problem cannot be underestimated. If the problem of residue and liquid removal cannot be solved for a long time, the gas production rate of the biogas digester will drop to an unsustainable level, and in serious cases, it may even be scrapped. A biogas digester is scrapped and removed * * In addition to the loss of the 1,000 yuan that has been subsidized, farmers will be forced to use straw and trees as fuel again in order to live, and the surrounding green mountains and forests will again be harmed by axes. If a complete biogas service system is not established in time and equipped with efficient sludge cleaning and liquid discharge equipment, the interests of farmers will be harmed, and the goal of building an environmentally friendly new countryside and a well-off society will also be affected. In the end, it will be the people who suffer the loss. * * .   By the end of 2006, there were more than 22 million rural biogas digesters nationwide, benefiting 75 million people. * * More than 20 billion yuan has been invested. According to relevant information, a large number of biogas digesters across the country cannot continue to be used normally due to the problem of removing biogas residue and slurry. Solving the problem of equipment for removing biogas residue and slurry has become a top priority. This post was last edited by chaochao on 2008-11-6 10:12 ]
