MAKE YOUR JOURNEY LESS EXPENSIVE AND POLLUTION FREE WITH BIOGAS

"BIOGAS" , When we listen this word what comes first in our mind? It is a GAS which is made by the biological products, and its true.

Biogas typically refers to a mixture of different gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen.

Biogas can be produced from raw materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste or food waste.

So, we can produce BIOGAS easily by the waste products which are available in our nearby.

Biogas is used as transportation fuel in a number of countries, but in Europe it has only reached a major breakthrough in Sweden. All of the biogas plants in Sweden that are in the planning or construction phase will be equipped with possibilities to deliver a biogas that is upgraded to natural gas quality, either for direct use as vehicle fuel or for injection into the natural gas grid.

The development of biogas as vehicle fuel in Sweden is a result of a combination of a surplus of gas from biogas plants, primarily at the sewage treatment plants, and a low electricity price that forces the biogas into markets other than electricity production.






SOURCES OF BIOGAS

Sewage treatment plants: Many sewage treatment plants produce methane rich gases in the sludge fermentation stage. Utilisation of methane from sewage plants is used on a large scale in many countries. Optimised process conditions can enhance the production and collection of these gases.

Cleaning of organic industrial waste streams: Anaerobic digestion processes are often successfully applied to clean the waste streams of agricultural processing industry,The methane rich gases are mainly utilised to produce electricity and heat in local co-generation plants.

Landfills: All landfills produce methane rich gases. Collection and utilisation of the gases is applied quite widely. Improved collection, processing and utilisation of landfill gases will be an important tool to increase the importance of landfill gas.

Mesophilic and thermophilic digestion of organic waste: Compact installations convert organic waste to methane rich gases at higher temperatures. The main difference between the two methods is the digestion temperature (35°C in the mesophilic process and 55°C in the ther mophilic process).

Composition of BIOGAS

1.  Methane -60-65% 
2. Carbon dioxide - 35-40%
3. Hydrogen sulphide - 0.5-1.0%

Properties of biogas

1. Biogas is non-toxic, color less and flammable gas.
2. It has an ignition temperature of 650 - 7500C.
3.  Its density is 1.214kg/ m3 (assuming about 60% Methane and 40% CO2).
4.  Its calorific value is 20 MJ/m3 (or 4700 kcal.).
5.  It is almost 20% lighter than air.

Upgrading of biogas to natural gas quality

Biogas has to be upgraded to natural gas quality in order to be used in normal vehicles designed to use natural gas. The most common technologies are the water scrubber technology and the PSA-technology. Gas upgrading is normally performed in two steps where the main step is the process that removes the CO2 from the gas. Minor contaminants are normally removed before the CO2- removal and the water dew point can be adjusted before or after the upgrading (depending on the process).

Biogas vehicles

Biogas can be used in both heavy duty and light duty vehicles. Light duty vehicles can normally run both on natural gas and biogas without any modifications, whereas heavy duty vehicles without closed loop control may have to be adjusted, if they run alternately on biogas and natural gas. Sweden is the only country in the world with a national standard for biogas as vehicle fuel today. This standard essentially states that the methane content must be higher than 95% and also sets limits for dew point, sulphur content and some other minor constituents. Today there are more than 4.000 vehicles in Sweden running on natural gas and biogas and several local fleets (e.g. Linköping, Uppsala, Kristianstad) where the major part of the urban public transports are operated on biogas.

Scope of BIOGAS in India

India is implementing one of the World’s largest programme in renewable energy. The country ranks second in biogas utilization. Biogas can be generated and supplied round the clock in contrast to solar and wind, which are intermittent in nature. Biogas plants provide three-in-one solution of gaseous fuel generation, organic manure production and wet biomass waste disposal/management.

Technology Demonstration on Biogas Bottling under RDD&D

First time in the country during the year 2008-09, a new initiative was taken for technology demonstration on biogas bottling projects in entrepreneurial mode, for installation of medium size mixed feed biogas plants for generation, purification and bottling of biogas under RDD&D policy of MNRE after R&D. Installation of such plants aims at production of CNG quality of Compressed Biogas (CBG) to be used as vehicular fuel in addition to meeting stationary & motive power, electricity generation, 2 thermal application etc. needs in a decentralized manner through establishment of a sustainable business model in this sector. There is a huge potential for installation of such plants in various areas. Under the demonstration phase, the Ministry has sanctioned a central financial assistance for a limited number of such projects for implementation following an entrepreneurial mode in different states namely Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan. So far, 11 numbers of biogas bottling projects of various capacities and technologies have been commissioned in the country after obtaining required licenses for filling and storage of compressed biogas in CNG cylinders from Petroleum & Explosives Safety Organization (PESO), State Pollution Control Board (PCB) etc. IIT, Delhi is assigned for technical monitoring & handholding of the consultants/promoters and preparation of documentation on different types of technology which may emerge out of these projects.

GOD PARTICLE FOUND- KAN KAN ME BHAGWAN HAIN

GENERAL INFORMATION


The "God particle" is the nickname of a subatomic particle called the Higgs boson. In layman’s terms, different
 subatomic particles are responsible for giving matter different properties. One of the most mysterious and
Important properties is mass. Some particles, like protons and neutrons, have mass. Others, like photons, do not.
The Higgs boson, or “God particle,” is believed to be the particle which gives mass to matter. The “God particle”
nickname grew out of the long, drawn-out struggles of physicists to find this elusive piece of the cosmic puzzle.
What follows is a very brief, very simplified explanation of how the Higgs boson fits into modern physics, and how science is attempting to study it.
The “standard model” of particle physics is a system that attempts to describe the forces, components, and
reactions of the basic particles that make up matter. It not only deals with atoms and their components, but the pieces that compose some subatomic particles. This model does have some major gaps, including gravity, and some experimental contradictions. The standard model is still a very good method of understanding particle physics, and it continues to improve. The model predicts that there are certain elementary particles even smaller than protons and neutrons. As of the date of this writing, the only particle predicted by the model which has not been experimentally verified is the “Higgs boson,” jokingly referred to as the “God particle.”

Each of the subatomic particles contributes to the forces that cause all matter interactions. One of the most
important, but least understood, aspects of matter is mass. Science is not entirely sure why some particles seem mass-less, like photons, and others are “massive.” The standard model predicts that there is an elementary particle, the Higgs boson, which would produce the effect of mass. Confirmation of the Higgs boson would be a major milestone in our understanding of physics.

The “God particle” nickname actually arose when the book The God Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What Is the Question? by Leon Lederman was published. Since then, it’s taken on a life of its own, in part because of the monumental questions about matter that the God particle might be able to answer. The man who first proposed the Higgs boson’s existence, Peter Higgs, isn’t all that amused by the nickname “God particle,” as he’s an avowed atheist. All the same, there isn’t really any religious intention behind the nickname.Currently, efforts are under way to confirm the Higgs boson using the Large Hadron Collider, a particle accelerator in Switzerland, which should be able to confirm or refute the existence of the God particle.
As with any scientific discovery, God’s amazing creation becomes more and more impressive as we learn more about it. Either result—that the Higgs boson exists, or does not exist—represents a step forward in human knowledge and another step forward in our appreciation of God’s awe-inspiring universe. Whether or not there is a “God particle,” we know this about Christ: “For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible . . . all things were created by him and for him”

HISTORY

Particle physicists study matter made from fundamental particles whose interactions are mediated by exchange particles known as force carriers. At the beginning of the 1960s a number of these particles had been discovered or proposed, along with theories suggesting how they relate to each other; however, even accepted versions such as the Unified field theory were known to be incomplete. One omission was 

that they could not explain the origins of mass as a property of matter. Goldstone's theorem, relating to continuous symmetries within some theories, also appeared to rule out many obvious solutions.

The Higgs mechanism is a process by which vector bosons can get rest mass without explicitly breaking gauge invariance. The proposal for such a spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism originally was suggested in 1962 by Philip Warren Anderson and developed into a full relativistic model, independently and almost simultaneously, by three groups of physicists: by François Englert and Robert Brout in August 1964; by Peter Higgs in October 1964; and by Gerald Guralnik, C. R. Hagen, and Tom Kibble (GHK) in November 1964. Properties of the model were further considered by Guralnik in 1965  and by Higgs in 1966. The papers showed that when a gauge theory is combined with an additional field that spontaneously breaks the symmetry group, the gauge bosons can consistently acquire a finite mass. In 1967, Steven Weinberg and Abdus Salam were the first to apply the Higgs mechanism to the breaking of the electroweak symmetry, and showed how a Higgs mechanism could be incorporated into Sheldon Glashow's electroweak theory, in what became the Standard Model of particle physics.

The three papers written in 1964 were each recognised as milestone papers during Physical Review Letters's 50th anniversary celebration. Their six authors were also awarded the 2010 J. J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics for this work. (A dispute also arose the same year; in the event of a Nobel Prize up to three scientists would be eligible, with six authors credited for the papers. ) Two of the three PRL papers (by Higgs and by GHK) contained equations for the hypothetical field that eventually would become known as the Higgs field and its hypothetical quantum, the Higgs boson. Higgs's subsequent 1966 paper showed the decay mechanism of the boson; only a massive boson can decay and the decays can prove the mechanism.

In the paper by Higgs the boson is massive, and in a closing sentence Higgs writes that "an essential feature" of the theory "is the prediction of incomplete multiplets of scalar and vector bosons". In the paper by 

GHK the boson is massless and decoupled from the massive states. In reviews dated 2009 and 2011, Guralnik states that in the GHK model the boson is massless only in a lowest-order approximation, but it 

is not subject to any constraint and acquires mass at higher orders, and adds that the GHK paper was the only one to show that there are no massless Goldstone bosons in the model and to give a complete 

analysis of the general Higgs mechanism.

In addition to explaining how mass is acquired by vector bosons, the Higgs mechanism also predicts the ratio between the W boson and Z boson masses as well as their couplings with each other and with the 

Standard Model quarks and leptons. Subsequently, many of these predictions have been verified by precise measurements performed at the LEP and the SLC colliders, thus overwhelmingly confirming that 

some kind of Higgs mechanism does take place in nature, but the exact manner by which it happens has not yet been discovered. The results of searching for the Higgs boson are expected to provide 

evidence about how this is realized in nature.
