Abstract

Biogas is obtained through Anaerobic digestion process of biomass waste. The present work aims to discuss the different factors affecting the digestion process. A comprehensive review of some biogas plants have been presented to show the techno-economic feasibility of different plants based on the different locally biomasses. But most of the cases plants are installed with adequate financial supports as subsidy but plants affects from the technical knowhow. Effect of different process parameter such as temperature, pH, C/N ratio on biogas generation, need to be taken care of to run the biogas plant to have maximum biogas generation rate with highest yield.
