This paper discusses the results of studies conducted on raw biogas produced from a prototypic biogas production plant located at the Teaching and Research Farm, University of Ibadan, Ibadan. This setup consists of a mixing chamber, a biogas digester and a stabilizing unit, locally designed and fabricated. It further discusses preliminary and detailed design coupled with the construction of an effective and efficient technology used in purifying raw biogas generated from the prototypic biogas production plant; this technology is otherwise known as the Water Scrubbing technology. The Scrubbing system consists of the Water scrubber with iron wool packed bed connected to a 500 litre water tank, and two tyre tubes which were used in storing the pre scrubbed (raw) biogas and the scrubbed (purified) biogas. The water scrubber has an inlet for the entry of the raw biogas and a discharge for .. View More»
