Red Queen hypothesis
"For an evolutionary system, continuing development is needed just in order to maintain its fitness relative to the systems it is co-evolving with.“ (L. Van-Valen 1973)

Engine sizing for biogas
Engine has fixed energy input Giving
Rated electrical & thermal output Electrical efficiency
3. Assess feedstock to digesters Food waste, energy crops?
Estimate biogas CH4 content Estimate biogas volume Determine biogas energy content
(kW) Select appropriate engine

What is CHP?
‘Combined Heat and Power (CHP) – is a highly efficient and
environmentally friendly technology for generating heat and power (usually electricity) on site from a single fuel source usually gas.’
![Page 18: Presentation at Developing UK Biogas Conference](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042602/55970acf1a28abe77f8b45cd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

CHP – The basic concept
Overall efficiency – Electrical & thermal – 80-90+%
![Page 19: Presentation at Developing UK Biogas Conference](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042602/55970acf1a28abe77f8b45cd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

How does CHP work?
The basic elements of a CHP plant:1. A prime mover (gas engine)2. Electrical generator driven by the
engine3. Heat exchangers recovering heat from
the engine Jacket cooling water Lubricating oil Turbocharger intercooler Exhaust gases
4. System control panel

Hydrogen sulphide
Hazard associated with biogas Originates from protein content of biomass Toxic Impact upon engine
Attacks ferrous metal Lubricating oil acidifies (frequent changes
needed) At very high levels 2,000-4,000 ppm damages
components With condensates acidification occurs
