Biology B3 4.7 Biogas.

?
What is biogas mainly made of?
Methane.
1 of 11
How is biogas made?
It is made by the anaerobic fermentation of a wide range of waste substances and plant material containing carbohydrate.
2 of 11
On what scale can biogas be made?
It can be made on a large or small scale.
3 of 11
When making biogas what happens to plants and any waste material containing carbohydrate (cattle dung etc)
It can be broken down in biogas generators.
4 of 11
What do biogas generator provide in the process of making biogas?
The ideal conditions for bacteria to reproduce and ferment the carbohydrates.
5 of 11
How do biogas generators provide the ideal conditions for biogas production?
They maintain a suitable temperature in oxygen-free conditions, some generators are designed to mix the contents. Generators are either buried in the ground for insulation or have insulating jackets.
6 of 11
What waste do large scale commercial generators use?
Waste from sugar factories or sewage works.
7 of 11
What is the gas produced (biogas) used for?
Fuel and provides energy for heating etc.
8 of 11
What does t mean if the gas mixture (biogas) has more methane in the mix?
The quality of biogas is more.
9 of 11
How is biogas produced?
By fermentation, the bacteria respire anaerobically using waste carbohydrate.
