Abstract

The utilization of renewable energy sources are derived from non-fossil sources such as urban waste, animal manure, agricultural waste and other biomass sources are becoming increasingly important. Biogas is a renewable energy source produced by anaerobic fermentation of organic material. Biogas can be produced from animal manure, wastewater, and solid waste. Its composition varies, depending on the source material biogas Biogas is a renewable energy and fuel used to replace fossil such as kerosene and natural gas. This study aims to find out how much the production of biogas in the third installation of biogas reactor 4 m3 in the village of Tana Toraja Palipu. The research method with survey variants directly measure pH, temperature, and the production of biogas. The results showed pH of 6,49 input materials, output of 7.8, the temperature in the reactor an average of 29°C, ambient temperature Average at 26°C, biogas production average of 2,714 m3 per day. The potential of 1 kg of livestock waste to produce 0.117 m3 of biogas. In Palipu District the are 2561 pigs (data of Jun 2017) producing an average of 1 kg waste / day for a total of 2561 kg of waste per day. The potential of livestock waste in Palipu District of 2561 kg waste x 0,117 m3 = 299,637 m3, of biogas, equivalent to Liquit Petrolium Gas (LPG) 299,637 m3 x 0,06 kg, Kerosene 299,637 x 0,6 = 185,770 liters, Solar Oil 299,637 x 0,52=155,811 liters, Fire wood 299,637 x 0,35 = 1048,73 kg. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
