Six buffaloes were maintained in a shed and the manure was collected for biogas generation. Biogas was purified from H2S and the bio fuel was used to run a 0.75 hp engine. Wood of gliricidia was used to energize a 3.5 kW gassifire-engine system for generating electricity.","PeriodicalId":348724,"journal":{"name":"Indian Coconut Journal","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133366755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
