Likewise, sludge generated by tannery effluent treatment plants has to be either put to use or safely disposed. These two issues were highlighted by the industry and government representatives of countries participating in the Regional programme at the time of the first coordinating and planning meeting held at Chennai, India in March 1996. Meantime the Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources (MNES) of the Government of India had engaged Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI), Chennai, India to identify potential non-conventional sources of energy in the leather industry. The idea of biomethanation of sludge and fleshings was mooted by CLRI. However this did not make much progress due to lack of access to relevant technology. At this stage UNIDO’s Regional programme revived the idea by suggesting that MNES might consider the technology adopted by a French tannery. Further discussion among MNES, CLRI and UNIDO’s RePO resulted in finalizing a project for a semi-industrial scale biomethanation plant of 5 t/d capacity to be put up jointly by MNES, CLRI, UNIDO and CETP, Vishtec, Melvisharam, Tamil Nadu, India. On the basis of a project report prepared jointly by Mr. Michel Aloy, CTC, Lyon, France (an international consultant of UNIDO) and Mr. S.D. Badrinath, a national consultant, the plant was constructed and commissioned by Enkem Engineers, a Chennai-based subcontractor. CLRI was given the responsibility for implementation and day-to-day management of the project and optimization of process parameters to achieve the envisaged gas yield and electrical energy. The plant has been operated regularly since its trial runs in December 1999. The personnel of the CETP have been trained in the operation and maintenance of the plant. Operational data for the period March 2000 to June 2001 is provided in the report (Annex 6). According to the project report, 5 tonnes of input to the plant every day, comprising not less than 3 tonnes of fleshings and the remainder of sludge, of the characteristics specified in the report, providing about 585 kg of volatile solids, would yield 316 m3 of biogas and in turn 700 kWh of electrical energy per day. The performance of the plant has established the feasibility of treating fleshings and sludge in anaerobic digestors to produce biogas, which after scrubbing of the H2S, can be used as fuel in a dual-fuel engine to generate electricity. However the gas generation until now has been much lower than the volume envisaged in the project report. The report contains details of the characteristics of fleshings and sludge charged to the digestors, volume of gas generated visà-vis projection and the many valuable lessons learnt. Details of the problems encountered – both process-related and mechanical – have been narrated. Being virtually the only operational plant of its kind in the world at present, constant efforts are underway to overcome the many process and technical problems and reach the optimum level of gas generation. The performance of the plant, until now, has confirmed the following: • • • The methane content of the gas generated is 60 – 70%. The gas yield corresponds to the volatile solids destroyed in the digester. The rate of volatile solids destroyed is in the range of 55 – 65%. iv • • The scrubber installed is capable of reducing H2S level in the gas from 1% to less than 0.1%. The gas generated, after H2S removal, has been successfully used to generate electricity in a dual fuel engine. Based on the results obtained until now it can be stated that the gas generated by biomethanation of fleshings and sludge can be utilized to generate electrical energy, thus offering an avenue for disposal of these solid wastes. Further data on the performance of the plant will be collected by CLRI over the next few months before the design features of an upscaled plant can be finalized. v 1. BACKGROUND 1.1. Raw trimmings and green/limed fleshings, which constitute bulk of the solid wastes generated in a tannery, are biodegradable. It has often been seen that in many tannery clusters in the developing countries of South East Asia such wastes are dumped haphazardly in the vacant areas around tanneries. Besides creating an unseemly sight, these putrefy, generate foul odour and pose a serious health problem. Though manufacturers of animal glue or animal feed protein or dog chew take away some quantity of such wastes, unacceptable modes of disposal of a sizeable quantity of such wastes in the region are not uncommon. Finding alternative, commercially attractive, options for utilization of these is an urgent task facing the tanning industry and the municipal authorities of the region. 1.2. Trimmings of raw hides and skins account for about 8 to 10% and fleshings, about 25 to 30% on the weight of raw stock. The characteristics of fleshings vary according to the origin of the raw material. The typical characteristics of fleshings resulting from Indian raw material at three locations may be seen in Table 1: Table 1: Characteristics of limed fleshings collected from tanneries in Vellore district, Tamil Nadu, India # Parameter 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. pH Moisture Ash Volatile solids COD total Calcium as Ca (total) Sulphate as SO4 (total) Sulphide as S Phosphorus as P Ammonia Nitrogen as N TKN Oil & grease Ranipet Buffalo Cow 12.36 90.53 0.183 0.817 0.970 0.127 0.00212 0.00119 0.00021 0.00272 0.118 0.058 12.11 82.34 0.474 0.526 0.765 0.077 0.00539 0.00269 0.00186 0.00280 0.083 0.091 Vaniyambadi Sheep skin 11.88 89.94 0.229 0.771 1.084 0.116 0.00147 0.00041 0.00145 0.00233 0.090 0.633 Melvisharam Buff Cow calf calf 12.25 12.06 90.41 81.95 0.349 0.225 0.651 0.775 0.949 0.195 0.236 0.078 0.00045 0.00261 0.00011 0.00199 0.00015 0.00019 0.00228 0.00451 0.106 0.109 0.130 0.228 Note: All values except pH and moisture are expressed in w/w on dry weight basis.

One of the potential options for utilization of the volatile solids in the fleshings is to convert these into biogas, which can be further used for generation of electricity. 1.3. Another solid waste, emanating from the effluent treatment plants, is the primary sludge. About 40% of this is organic matter, appropriate for conversion into biogas. A substantial quantity of sludge from effluent treatment plants is currently disposed in either safe landfills or dumped in the vacant lands, again causing an environmental hazard. Appropriate options for utilization of sludge have to be explored to help the industry of the region. The general characteristics of sludge from three common effluent treatment plants in Tamilnadu, India may be seen in Table 2: 1 Table 2: Characteristics of sludge from common effluent treatment plants in Vellore District, Tamil Nadu, India. # Parameter mg/l CETP CETP CETP Average Vaniyambadi Melvisharam Ranipet 1. pH 7.72 8.8 7.93 7.7 – 8.8 2.

Under the regional programme of UNIDO, these two issues were specifically highlighted by the participating countries at the first coordination and planning meeting held in Chennai, India in March 1996 and viable solutions were sought. 1.6. Meantime, the Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources (MNES), Government of India had engaged Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI), Chennai to identify potential options for generation of energy from non-conventional sources in the tanning industry. The idea of generating biogas and electricity from fleshings and sludge was mooted by CLRI. However, in the absence of process technology, this idea did not make any headway. At this stage UNIDO’s RePO, in consultation with its international expert, Mr. Michel Aloy of CTC France, suggested to CLRI and MNES that the technology adopted by a French tannery in this regard could be looked at. Following extensive discussions among MNES, CLRI and UNIDO’s RePO a memorandum of understanding was entered among MNES, CLRI, UNIDO’s RePO and CETP- Vishtec, Melvisharam, India for putting up a semi industrial scale plant of 5 t/d capacity. MNES, in cooperation with RePO, UNIDO, Chennai, engaged Mr. Michel Aloy of CTC France and Mr. S.D. Badrinath, a national consultant to prepare a project report for a 5 t/d biomethanation plant, the inputs consisting of not less than 3 t/d of fleshings and the remainder of sludge. The project report was considered by MNES in December 1999 and approved. CLRI was engaged by MNES to implement the project, oversee its day-to-day 2 management and optimization of various parameters. UNIDO’s RePO agreed to provide technical assistance and participate with limited financial contribution. 2. PRINCIPLE OF BIOMETHANATION Anaerobic or methane fermentation is brought about by populations of complex bacteria. Substances such as municipal sewerage, vegetable wastes and industrial wastes emanating from sugar mills, slaughterhouses, etc. contain substantial quantity of organic matter and therefore yield themselves to biomethanation. The various forms of degradation of complex organic matter in the anaerobic process go through three distinct phases, namely, - Hydrolysis and acidogenesis phase Acetogenesis phase Methanogenesis phase The first phase is performed by a wide variety of bacterial species and results in a mixture of volatile fatty acids, neutral compounds such as ethanol and gaseous products such as CO2 and hydrogen. The acetogenesis phase refers to acetate production and is brought about by bacteria, which produce hydrogen. Thus this phase is sensitive to the presence of hydrogen. Methane-producing microorganisms bring about the methanogenesis phase. Two general methods of methanogenesis are identifiable. In the first, hydrogen and carbon dioxide form water and methane. In the second, acetate is broken down into CO2 and methane (CH4). It is the second method, which produces about 70% methane. The composition of gas generated depends on the composition of the substrate and conditions of operation. Gas production is the simplest criterion to measure the quality of digestion. It depends on two main factors, namely, temperature and retention time. 3. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this initiative are: - To evaluate the technology for generation of bio gas from wet limed fleshings and primary sludge from a tannery effluent treatment plant in conditions prevailing in the developing countries of South East Asia; - To evaluate the quality and volume of gas produced with reference to the raw material fed and to assess the quantum of electrical power generated; - To obtain relevant data for finalizing the design features for up scaling the plant. 3 4. IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS One of the main objectives of the Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources (MNES) of the Government of India is to identify potential non-conventional energy sources. From its own point of view, the Ministry considered tannery wastes as one such source. Their interest in taking up a project of this nature stemmed from this objective. MNES is the major stakeholder in the project. Tanners of South East Asian region have been faced with the problem of safe disposal or proper utilization of both these wastes – fleshings and sludge. With increasing pressure from the pollution control authorities in many countries of the region, they had to find an urgent solution. Accordingly, they approached UNIDO Regional Programme for assistance in this regard. The focus of tanners is to find a cost-effective mode of utilization or safe disposal of these wastes. The Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI), Chennai, India, had been engaged by the MNES for identifying and implementing projects utilizing tannery wastes for generation of electricity. Against this background, MNES, CLRI and UNIDO joined together to undertake the project in cooperation with the Common Effluent Treatment Plant at Melvisharam. Pursuant to this convergence of interests, the following actions were taken: A MOU was signed between Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources, Government of India, Leather Technology Mission of Central Leather Research Institute, Chennai, RePO, UNIDO, Chennai and the potential beneficiary in August 1997 (Annex 1). A cost sharing arrangement was agreed upon – MNES contributing 60% of the cost of project, CLRI - LTM (17.5%), UNIDO (17.5%) and the beneficiary (5%). An international consultant, in cooperation with a national consultant, prepared a project report. MNES & UNIDO’s Regional Programme had commissioned this project report. The international expert presented the report to all signatories to the MoU in December 1997 (Annex 2). Detailed engineering, construction, erection and commissioning of the plant was done by Enkem Engineers, Chennai, an Indian subcontractor, selected on the basis of an open tender, with regular technical guidance of the international consultant. CLRI assumed the responsibility for day-to-day management of the project while UNIDO’s Regional Programme was involved in the committee constituted to oversee and monitor the project implementation and later its operation and maintenance. 5.

BASIC DETAILS OF THE PLANT 6.1 Location The plant is located in the CETP-Vishtec at Melvisharam in Vellore District, Tamil Nadu, India. Melvisharam, which is 125 km from Chennai, is an important tannery cluster. The location map and layout of the plant may be seen at annex 3 & 4. The tanneries in Melvisharam mainly process cattle hides. The tanneries of this cluster have come together and formed a company, Visharam Tanners Enviro Control Company Ltd. (Vishtec, in short) for the collection and treatment of effluent discharged by them. Though this CETP has been designed to treat 3400 m3/d, the average volume of effluent received in the plant for treatment at present is less than 1000 m3/d. The CETP has a laboratory where routine wastewater analyses are done. Apart from this pilot plant for the biomethanation of fleshings and primary sludge, the CETP has been assisted under UNIDO’s regional programme in the following areas: - Construction of a model safe landfill Installation of a pilot reed bed system Composting of sludge Automatic monitoring of some aspects of the treatment process of the CETP 5 A view of the Biomethanation Plant at Melvisharam, Tamil Nadu, India 6.2 Key design features The biomethanation plant can take in a maximum loading of 5 t/d. The volume of each of the two digestors connected in series is 65 m3. At a loading rate of 5 t/d, the designed retention time of the material in the digestors is 26 days. The key design parameters are as under: Maximum loading rate Total solids / day Total VS/day Expected biogas production Methane production Electrical energy generation = = = = = = 5 t/d 700 kg/d 585 kg/d 316 m3/d 65-70% of biogas produced 700 kWh/d 6.3 Equipment and instruments installed Except the meat mincer (fleshing grinder), which was imported from Denmark, all other equipment and instruments were procured or fabricated locally by the subcontractor.

Fleshings brought from tanneries is stored on a concrete platform and aired off for a minimum duration of 24 hours to oxidise residual sulphide. Then it is taken to the mincer for grinding. The mincer is fitted with two sets of hole plates and knives. Fleshings are cut to the size of 6 mm in the grinder and charged into the preparation tank. 7 Fleshings received at the plant from tanneries await grinding The preparation tank is fed with primary sludge (about 4% solids) obtained directly from the treatment plant. A mixer keeps the solids in suspension. The moisture content of the mixture of minced fleshings and sludge is 85-90%. The entire operation of the plant is fully automated with a microprocessor based Programmable Logic Control (PLC) system. To ensure proper functioning of the digestion process, the different mixing cycles are synchronized through the PLC system. FRP coated platform from where fleshings is charged into the grinder The mixture from the preparation tank is fed into Digestor 1 through a volumetric screw pump to ensure that the addition takes place in a regulated manner. A centrifugal pump is used for mixing the contents of the digestors. For each loading in digestor 1, an equivalent volume of discharge is effected from digestor 2. A screw pump pumps the digested slurry to the sludge drying beds. The system is expected to effectively degrade the organics in the fleshings to the extent of destroying 60% of VS. The expected gas yield is @ 0.9 m3 per kg of VS destroyed. As safe use of biogas in a dual fuel engine requires removal of hydrogen sulphide (H2S), the generated gas is passed through a H2S scrubber unit. It reduces the H2S level in the gas from about 1% to less than 0.1%. 8 The biogas is mixed with diesel in the ratio 70:30 and used as fuel in the generator. The power generated is used for operating the biomethanation plant and an aerator (30 HP) in the CETP. H2S Scrubber Unit Dual Fuel engine 6.5 Process of commissioning Filling the digestors with water to check all hydraulic devices and pipelines was the first step in the start-up of the bio-reactor. Cow dung with 13-15% total solids and volatile solids ranging from 70 – 80% was fed to the digestors as seeding material to start the digestion phase. Loading was done volumetrically in batches of 1 m3. The automation system installed in the plant was observed to function well. The sequence of operation and duration of each operation were checked. After feeding about 12 tonnes of seeding material, feeding of fleshings and primary sludge was started. The quantity of the material fed was progressively increased. When the quantity of fleshings and sludge fed to the digestor in a day increased to 1.5 tonnes and 1.0 m3 respectively, gas generation was in the range of 25 – 30 m3/d. 9 The H2S scrubber unit was trial run. Initial problems encountered were sorted out by the service personnel of Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, suppliers of the scrubber. The scrubber was found to reduce the H2S level in the biogas from 1% to < 10 ppm. 7. OPERATION OF THE PLANT: 01 JAN 2000 – 30 JUNE 2001 Since commissioning, the plant has been operated regularly. Being the first working plant of its nature, many operational and maintenance problems had been encountered. The ensuing paragraphs provide details of operation of this plant in the period 1 January to 30 June 2001, problems faced and the performance of the plant vis-à-vis the design features. 7.1 Operational controls - measurement and monitoring of different parameters The following operational controls had been followed during the period March 2000 to June 2001. - Analysis of the fleshings and primary sludge fed into the system for % moisture, % total solids and composition of total solids, namely, the volatile and fixed solid contents. - Analysis of samples drawn from feed and drain chambers and the four compartments of the digestors for % moisture, % total solids, % volatile solids in total solids and total alkalinity. The CO2 level in the generated biogas had been monitored regularly. The volume of gas generated – m3/d – had been measured. The H2S level in the gas, after treatment in the H2S scrubber unit, had also been monitored regularly. 7.2 Brief details of operation During January 2000, for most of the days, the feed was limited to one tonne of fleshings per day. Feeding of primary sludge had to be temporarily discontinued consequent to clogging of the 110 mm φ pipe connecting the two digestors. Towards the last week of January, feeding of primary sludge was resumed and by end of January, the daily feed constituted one tonne of fleshings and 500 litres of primary sludge. During the month February 2000, the quantity of feed was gradually increased to 1.5 tonnes of fleshings 1.0 tonne of primary sludge The CO2 level in the generated gas was measured once in 2 days and H2S level once in a week. The CO2 level in the biogas was between 28 and 36 % and H2S ranged from 0.6 – 0.9%. The volume of gas generated was about 25-30 m3/d. As the gas generation was observed to be low, it was decided to measure the quantity of feed accurately, analyse samples drawn from feed/drain tanks and the different compartments of the digestors for the following characteristics: 10 - pH Total solids Volatile solids On analysis, it was realized that the volatile solids in the fed material – fleshings and primary sludge - were lower than what had been assumed in the DPR. The low VS content of feed was traced to: the type of fleshings received from different tanneries and the type of wastewater treated in the CETP supplying the primary sludge. origin of the rawhides yielding the fleshings. type of liming practised – prolonged less sulphide method or the rapid method. The feed rate was maintained at 1.5 to 2.0 m3/d depending on the availability of fleshings. It was gradually increased and by the middle of June 2000, it reached a rate of 5 m3/day – 3 tonnes of minced fleshings and 2 m3 of primary sludge. The gas production, however, did not increase with the increase in feed. While the feed rate was gradually increased to the capacity level of 5 m3/d, over flowing of the material from digestor 1 through the U tube was noticed. On examination, the overflowing substance was found to be a frothy matter. This matter entered the gas line too. The operation was stopped and no feeding was done for a few days. After cleaning the gas line the operation of the plant was resumed. The performance of the plant in May and June 2000 was reviewed with Mr. M. Aloy, international expert, in July 2000. On analysing the data, the following points emerged: - - There was a sudden increase in the VS loading in June compared to May. From an average feeding rate of about 160 kg/d of VS in May, it shot up to > 450 kg/d on a few days in June. This shock loading was suspected to have caused the frothing problem in digestor 1. Mr. Aloy recommended maintaining feed rate on the basis of VS loading and not on volumetric monitoring. During the months of July and August 2000, the grinder was not operational on most of the days on account of frequent breaking of cutter wheel assembly. Consequently, feeding was limited to 2 m3 of primary sludge on alternate days. The gas production was in the range of 45 – 50 m3/day. Feeding of fleshings was restarted in September 2000 with the locally fabricated cutter wheel assembly mounted on the grinder. Feeding was done on the basis of VS loading. On average, 2 m3/day of feed comprising minced fleshings and primary sludge mixed in the ratio of 3:2 was given maintaining the VS loading rate in the range of 80-105 kg/day. As gas yield continued to be in the region of 40 - 50 m3/d, it was felt that the population of the bacteria responsible for the methenogenesis phase was low and hence cow dung was fed to the system for a few days in January 2001. By the end of January 2001, the gas production increased to 70 – 75 m3/d. Operation of the plant was continued and the gas yield during February 2001 increased to 80 – 90 m3/d. 11 In Table 3, month-wise cumulative data relating to total solids and volatile solids in the feed and the drained material, volume of gas generated, specific gas generation with respect to VS destroyed, etc. are given for the period March 2000 to June 2001. 12 Table 3: Month-wise operational data Month No. of feed days Mar, 00 Apr, 00 May, 00 Jun, 00 Jul, 00# Aug, 00 Sep, 00 Oct, 00 Nov, 00# Dec, 00 Jan, 01 Feb, 01 Mar, 01 Apr, 01 May, 01 Jun, 01 24 18 24 25 13 21 13 4 27 22 23 13 22 15 9 Feed Volume Total 3 M solids, kg 47.5 3810 28.1 2507 45.0 3450 81.0 6323 25.7 2041 47.0 3815 34.3 2857 13.0 1042 69.8 5747 52.5 4857 84.3 8462 43.7 5509 78.2 9573 89.0 8929 41.0 4990 Volatile solids, kg 2227 1712 1880 3874 1280 2159 1480 591 2810 2642 4291 3076 4317 4750 2588 Drain VS on TS 58.5% 68.3% 54.5% 61.3% 62.7% 56.6% 51.8% 56.7% 48.9% 54.4% 50.7% 55.8% 45.1% 53.2% 51.9 Total solids, kg 3258 1631 2175 1499 1315 2359 1842 578 3070 2574 4789 1549 4332 4047 2620 VS destroyed kg % Volatile solids, kg 1214 1013 631 1081 844 1036 648 3226* 515 765 925 1234 608 872 323 268 972 1838 1015 1627 1945 2346 536 2540 1486 2831 1418 3332* 960 1628 45 63 55 60 32 31 26 65 62 55 83 66 63 Gas production volume, m3 Total Average /day 839.46 27.08 1220.51 40.68 1391.00 44.87 1445.00 48.17 1477.13 47.65 1672.39 53.95 1305.55 43.52 1182.68 38.15 525.61 17.52 934.75 30.15 1407.00 45.39 2193.25 78.33 1939.50 62.56 2322.00 77.40 1258.00 40.58 739.78 24.66 Specific gas production 0.83 1.13 1.34 0.45 2.19 1.06 1.36 1.96 0.96 0.86 0.93 0.76 0.82 0.38 0.45 Note: * “Shock loadings” caused overflowing of material from the digestor 1 in June 2000, May 2001 and June 2001. # Due to breakdown of the grinder (cutter wheel assembly) feeding of fleshings was discontinued in July and November 2000. 13 8. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED 8.1 Problems relating to grinder The grinder installed at the site is of Danish make. The machine is able to grind the wet limed or green fleshings fed into it to the required particle size of 6 mm very smoothly and effectively. 4 spare sets of cutter wheel and blades had been supplied along with the machine. The breaking of blades was first encountered in March 2000 after about three months of regular operation of the grinder. Before end of June 2000, it broke four more times. The broken part was replaced by spares that were available. As importing spares from Denmark was a time-consuming and costly exercise, it was decided to develop a vendor locally for the fabrication and supply of cutter wheels. An engineering company having a fairly well equipped workshop at Vellore was identified and after ascertaining the metallurgical characteristics of the material of construction of the item, a counter sample was developed. This was tried on the grinder and found to be of acceptable quality. Further improvements were effected and 4 sets of cutter wheel assembly were fabricated and supplied by the Vellore-based vendor. The locally made items were found to be satisfactory in quality. The grinding was as smooth, noiseless, effective and quick as obtained using the imported ones. Data relating to disruption of operation of the plant due to breaking of cutter wheel assembly of the grinder is given in Table 6.

Locally fabricated one was mounted. With frequent breaking of cutter wheels, the following control measures have been implemented: • Fleshings received from tanneries to be thoroughly checked for presence of any metallic object or stones. • The rate of grinding to be maintained as recommended by the supplier to avoid overstraining the knives. 8.2 Availability of fleshings Tanning activity in tanneries is affected by fluctuations in the international trade in leather. Tanneries work overtime during the busy months of a year and have much less work during the dull phases. There were ‘dull phases’ during the period of observation when tanneries in Melvisharam did not work to capacity. There was no soaking in many units during such periods and it was difficult to find the required quantity of fleshings in Melvisharam. Fleshings had to be brought from Ranipet a nearby tannery cluster during such periods to maintain regular feeding of the digestor. However availability of fleshings for the plant has never been a serious problem. 8.3 Inconsistency in the quality of fleshings Raw hides from different sources are processed in the Melvisharam cluster. Apart from locally procured wet salted hides, raw hides imported from Europe, CIS countries, Africa and Australia are processed in the tanneries at Melvisharam. Consequently, the characteristics of the fleshings received in the plant vary widely from batch to batch and from day to day. It is seen that fleshings obtained from hides of European / Australian origin have a much higher VS content than those got from hides of Indian origin. With the quantity of feed controlled volumetrically, such inconsistencies in the VS content resulted in “shock loadings” leading to the frothing and foaming problem and overflow of the frothy matter from the digestor. Sometimes the frothy matter entered the gas line too. To avoid such ‘shock loadings’, it was decided to control the feed quantity on the basis of VS loading from August 2000. 8.4 Digester overflow and frothing problem The designed feed rate of 5 m3/day was started during 1st week of June 2000 and the frothing and overflow problems started after 8 days of continuous feeding (5 m3/day). The 5 m3/day feeding was also performed during May 2001 continuously for a period of 19 days and the overflow problem re-started. The occurrence of overflow / frothing problems on the 20th day had been attributed to the following reasons. The scum or foamy fatty material accumulation above the scum funnel could not be sensed and identified and therefore the gas pipeline got choked preventing the biogas flow to the gas holder. The developed buoyancy force in the digester due to the blockage of gas pipeline by scum or foamy material and the accumulation of VFA with organic loading were perceived to be the causes of digester overflow. It has therefore been proposed to build a sensor mechanism to identify the scum or foamy fatty material above the scum funnel in the digester before it reached to the gas pipeline. The digester overflow problem leads to the termination 15 of digester feeding process for about 10 days. The digester overflow problem is also attributed to the persisting inequilibrium between the acetogenic and methanogenic microbial population in the digester, which could be inferred by the recorded VFA concentration of 15,000 – 20,000 mg/l during the overflow time. Consequently, the accumulation of VFA due to continuous feeding of 5 m3/day (400 kg VS/day) has to be modified to 4 m3/d (300 kg VS/d). This will provide for longer retention time for VFA to be converted to biogas as the methanogens are slow growing microbes. However, the indices/circumstances attending the overflow problem and effective preventive measures are being further evaluated to reduce the digester downtime. 9. PERFORMANCE OF THE PLANT Against the projected gas yield of 320 m3/d for a daily input of 5 m3 of feed – 3 m3 of fleshings and 2 m3 of sludge – the gas yield actually obtained in the plant is low. The maximum gas yield recorded in a day was 96 m3 on 26 February 2001. It has largely remained in the range of 40 – 50 m3/d on most of the days during the last 18 months of regular operation of the plant. However the feed rate too was not uniform and regular throughout. While problems arising from breakdown of the grinder and non-availability or irregular availability of fleshings contributed to disruption of work now and then and eventually affected gas generation, the following factors have been identified as responsible for the low gas yield: • The acidogenesis phase of the anaerobic reaction appeared to be satisfactory as ascertained by the analysis of samples drawn from the different compartments of the digestors. However, the methanogenesis phase of the reactors needed investigation. When the VS loading increased progressively, the volume of gas generated increased. However, when the gas production was over 60 m3/d, the matter inside the digestors began to overflow. Consequently the feeding had to be stopped and the gas yield eventually came down to 20 – 30 m3/d. When the overflowing took place the VFA (volatile fatty acid) content of the matter in the digestors was in the region of 16000 – 17000 mg/l. This raised the doubt whether the population of the methane-producing bacteria was adequate. In January 2001,when the digestors overflowed and the VFA content was found to be 17000 mg/l, cow dung was fed to the digestor for a few days to help improve the population of methane-producing microorganisms. This attempt produced good result – the gas yield improved from about 40 m3/d to 70 – 75 m3/d. Perhaps feeding of a more appropriate seed material may help improve the population of methane-producing microorganism and eventually the gas yield. CLRI, the agency responsible for daily operation of the plant, is further investigating this aspect. • The fleshings and the primary sludge constituting the feed are analysed for total solids and VS content daily. From the data available, it is seen that the VS content of fleshings generally vary from 45% to 70%. This is far less than the value considered in the DPR, namely 90% for fleshings. The VS content of the combined feed, as seen from Table 3 ranges from 45% to 68% as against 83.6% assumed in the DPR. • The maximum electricity generated in a day is 315 kWh. But for the low gas yield, the plant is functioning well and the results obtained over the period January 2000 to June 2001 confirm the following: 16 • • • • • The methane content of the gas generated is 60 – 70%, carbon dioxide 20 – 35% and H2S about 1%. The gas yield has been found to correspond to the volatile solids destroyed in the system. The actual rate of VS destroyed is in the range of 55 – 65%. The scrubbing of the biogas in the H2S scrubber system reduces the H2S level from to 1% to less than 0.1%. The generated gas, after removal of H2S in the scrubber system, has been successfully used as fuel in the dual fuel engine for generation of electricity. The average monthly cost of operation of the plant until now is INR 55,000. 10. LESSONS LEARNT Over the last many months of regular operation of the plant, the following lessons have been learnt. • • • • Feed has to be measured in terms of volatile solids and not in terms of volume only. This is necessary to avoid shock loadings. The maintenance of the mechanical equipment, particularly the grinder, requires greater attention. Thorough screening of the fleshings to remove foreign objects before feeding to the grinder is necessary. Feeding the fleshings in the stipulated manner to the mincing chamber is essential to avoid over straining the knives and to prevent breaking of the cutter wheel assembly. All sources of supply of fleshings have to be categorised in terms of the quality of fleshings. This will help prevent shock load risks. Developing local sources for supply of essential spares such as cutter wheel for the grinder is useful as it saves time, helps avoid long waits and is much less expensive compared to the option of importing spares from overseas suppliers. 11. FUTURE With the feasibility of biomethanation of wet limed fleshings and sludge from effluent treatment plants for generation of biogas and electricity having been established, it is now important to optimize yield of gas & electrical energy. As the VS content in the fleshings available in Melvisharam cluster is about 55%, it has been decided in consultation with Mr. Michel Aloy that future efforts should target a gas yield of about 180-190 m3/d as shown below: Biogas (188 m3) 60% VS destroyed Gas production @ 0.9 m3/kg of VS 4t Fleshing 15% TS TS 600 kg VS @ 55% 330 kg 17 TS 650 kg** Digestor Digested sludge If the performance of the plant in Melvisharam is optimised to yield biogas at the rate of 180 – 190 m3/d, this option of utilisation of limed fleshings, an untanned solid waste of tanning industry and sludge, a solid waste of the ETPs, is likely to become popular, not only in the tannery clusters of Tamil Nadu, India but in other countries of the region as well. A realistic cost-benefit analysis is feasible only after the plant performance is stabilized and the yield of gas and electricity are optimized for the given quality of inputs.
