Issues of water supply and water drainage on private farm in Kazakhstan

 

         Water supply and water drainage  on private farm with livestock population up to 100 heads of cattle needs establishing  production without wastes, on utilization of organic wastes and livestock drains.   The conducted experimental researches on identification of the norms of water supply of the cattle in Almaty region have shown that daily water consumption is qpac ==33…34 l/day,  coefficients of hour and daily unevenness are αr=2,13,  αday=1,07.

         On water drainage  norms we have obtained the following data:

Water drainage  for the cattle for cattle is 44…45 l/day, formation of hard drainage (moisture 73…76%)-6,9..72m3/day.  Coefficients of hour and daily unevenness are: λx=1,98  λday=1,2  λgen=2,3. The regime and norms of water consumption of cattle have been studied, structural analysis of sediment have been done and physical and chemical features of livestock drain have been identified.

         Chemical analyses of cattle drain have showed the following: chloride content –3,3…5,2 mg/l, iron is missing; magnium-421…546 mg/l; quantity of calcium has fluctuated in wide range; ammonia nitrogen - 32,0…40,0 mg/m; BPC5 – 3200…4300 mg/l; BPCcomplete –4600…5660 mg/l; CPC-14700…15600 mg/l; weighed substances –17,9…18,7 g/l; common nitrogen- 1,3…1,4 g/l and hydrogen index  PH- 8,06…8,07.

         On bacterial analysis of cattle drain we have obtained following data: colony calculation- 1,2…2,01-106  mln.; index number-more than 10 billiards; pathogenic flora is missing. General analysis shows that indices of VPC, HPC, phosphorus and potassium are slightly high. Before using such drain for irrigation it is necessary to make the required norm of concentration of elements of  content of the drain by means of processing using method of anaerobial fermentation on special devices. Processed drain  meets environmental requirements, eliminates infection of people and animals with disease agents, soil, ground water and plants  overloading with harmful substances and microorganisms. Simultaneously we can obtain low cost fuel such as biogas consisting of methane (65…70%), carbonic acid gas (27…32%) and hydrogen sulphide (up to 3%). Energy contained in 30 m3 of biogas is equal to the energy of 18 m3 of natural gas, 22 liters of oil, 20 liters of diesel.

         World energy and environmental crisis of 70th of XX century has preconditioned wide development of biogas technology in USA, Germany, England, France, Italy, Finland, China, India and other countries. At present period in China there are  more than 5 millions and in India more than million of biogas devices with reactor volume of 8-10 m3, that provide more than 50 min. farmers with gaseous  fuel .

         In the US biogas covers 1,6% of energy consumption in agriculture and in India it covers more than 20%. In general the development and implementation of small capacity biogas device on farms in the republic will provide solution of energetic and economic problems in rural places.

         Therefore in choosing and development of technological scheme of complex biogas system it is necessary:

-         to chop manure and other organic wastes to the size of not more than 0,005 m and maintain content of moisture in the initial substance on the level 88-90%;

-         during device launching  the filling should be done within 5…30% of the whole loading volume. Fermentation process should be thermophil (50-550). It includes two phases. In the first phase up to 350C the process takes place quickly, then in the second phase after 4-6 days temperature is increased up to working temperature  to 10C per day;

-         daily loading dose of working chamber of bioreactor (methantenka) during heating period from 35 to 500 C should be accepted as 10% and in the set regime-18-30% from loading volume. Mixing of fermented substance should be done with the help of vacuum tower every 5-6 hours  3-4 times;

-         for improving fermentation process of liquid drain,  0,1% of carbon oxide  should be added;

-         systematic control the quantity of pathogenic microorganisms and viable helmint eggs in manure after fermentation.

 Based on the requirements of the proposed technological process of fermentation  of farm drain we have developed various schemes of bio energy devices.

Construction of experimental bio energy device is shown on picture.

     Liquid organic wastes and manure drains  on farm are taken to the reservoir of 1 preparation of fermented manure and are kept there until needed consistency, catalyser of sediment  fermentation process is added. Reservoir of preparation is covered with damper 2 providing cycle loading of device with fermented material. Delivery of prepared manure drains is done with the help of re-circulation pump 3, equipped with homogenisator made as hydro monitor cone nozzles and is located on loading-overflow hatch 5, with consideration of the most effective use of stream  energy. Bioreactor (methane device) 6 is situated  horizontally with bottom decline 0,01-0,020  to the loading-overflow hatch.

To conduct montage, maintenance and repair-exploitation works the bioreactor is equipped with technologic hatch with diameter 0,6 m situated in its upper part. Filling level of bioreactor with drains and process of  their barbotage  are controlled with the help of vision window 8 situated up the calculation loading level. For providing  continuous fermentation process  in loading-overflow hatch  the bolt  9 works for draining  of the changing quantity of thrown sediment.  To maintain optimal temperature for viability of mizophyl methane bacteria in bio-reactor the system of electric heating is used that consists of electrode water heater 10 type EVM, tubular heat exchanger 11

 

situated inside bio-reactor, extending tank 12 and pipe line armature 13. For throwing output biogas (methane) the system of pumping out and storage is foreseen including piston  compressor 14 and receiver 15 with 1 m3 volume.

     Research results show that the assumed bioenergy device provides automation of technological process of  bio gas production and obtaining of qualitative organic fertilizer.
