INTRODUCTION
⌅The derived energy of biomass is that that arises starting from the alive beings or its wastes, and it represents an interesting use potential for its conversion in biofuel that cannot mitigate the use of fossil fuels renewable as the petroleum.
American Society for testing and materials standards Biodigesters are facilities in which a certain organic waste is decomposed by the action of populations of anaerobic bacteria, in the absence of oxygen and produce as a result of this process gases with a high percentage of methane and therefore a good capacity for generating (Grundey, 1982GRUNDEY, K.: El tratamiento de los residuos agrícolas y ganaderos, Ed.

The biodigester is in fact anthropogenically (taken place by human activity) the technology to highlight in the biotechnical process of digestion anaerobic of biomasses to obtain biogas (Flotats et al., 2001FLOTATS, X.; CAMPOS, E.; PALATSI, J.; BONMATÍ, X.: “Digestión anaerobia de purines de cerdo y codigestión con residuos de la industria alimentaria”, Porci; Monografías de actualidad, 65: 51-65, 2001.; Sosa, 2017SOSA, R.: “Indicadores ambientales de la producción porcina y ganadera”, En: VII Seminario Internacional de Porcicultura Tropical. La Habana: Instituto de Investigaciones Porcinas 2017, La Habana, Cuba, 2017.).
This technology consists on a hermetic reactor with a lateral entrance for the organic matter, an escape in the superior part for where the biogas, and an exit flows for the effluents obtaining with properties bio fertilizers, contributing both products to solve the necessities of the producers and to the development of the organic agriculture, like an economically feasible and ecologically sustainable alternative (Zheng et al., 2012ZHENG, Y.H.; WEI, J.G.; LI, F.S.F.; JIANG, G.M.; LUCAS, M.; WU, M.; NING, T.Y.: “Anaerobic fermentation technology increases biomass energy use efficiency in crop residue utilization and biogas production”, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 16(7): 4588-4596, 2012, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2012.03.061.201.).
The employment of the biomass, by means of a process of digestion anaerobia, is also a source of renewable energy used in some poultry farms. The biomass can be used as fuel to heat the facilities and to provide electricity through the generation of thermal energy. The residuals of the farm, as the manure and the food leftovers, they can be used as biomass for the energy generation.
Besides providing energy, the use of renewable energies in the poultry farms also has other benefits; for example, the use of renewable energies reduces the dependence of the fossil fuels and it contributes to the reduction of emissions of gases of effect hothouse. He/she can also help to the poultry farms to reduce their long term energy costs and to improve their sustainability (Cadena Avícola, 2023CADENA AVÍCOLA: Implementación de energías renovables en granjas avícolas: una solución sostenible y económica. Cadena Avícola y Porcina, [en línea], Cadena Avícola, 2023, Disponible en: https://cadenaavicola.com/implementacion-de-energias-renovables-en-granjas-avicolas-una-solucion-sostenible-y-economica/.).
To these aspects he/she would be necessary to add the high prices of the fuels and the local high rates of the electric power, being factors to consider for the biodigesters introduction or biogas plants that facilitate the energy production starting from the use of the wastes of the agricultural production (Parra et al., 2019PARRA, D.; BOTERO, M.; BOTERO, J.: “Biomasa residual pecuaria: revisión sobre la digestión anaerobia como método de producción de energía y otros subproductos”, Revista UIS Ingeniería, 18(1): 149-160, 2019.).
Being considered the previously described approaches, in the University Farm "Guayabal" belonging to the Agrarian University of Havana (UNAH), located in San José of the Flagstones, of the county Mayabeque, Cuba, was carried out the study of the feasibility of the technology of bio digestion appropriate anaerobia to introduce in a system of poultry production, with the objective of producing biogas and bio fertilizers.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
⌅The University Farm "Guayabal", belonging to the Agrarian University of Havana (UNAH), it is located to the 23°00'12 ,5" North latitude, and 82°09'57 ,9" longitude West in the municipality San José of The Flagstones, county Mayabeque, Cuba. The existent floor in the same one, is classified as Red Typical Ferralitic according to Hernández et al. (2015)HERNÁNDEZ, J.; PÉREZ, J.; BOSCH, I.; CASTRO, S.: Clasificación de los suelos de Cuba 2015, Ed. Ediciones INCA, San José de las Lajas, Mayabeque, Cuba, 93 p., 2015, ISBN: 978-959-7023-77-7. in all their extension. He/she has a flat relief, height on the sea level of 120 m and annual heatstroke of 1825 kWh/m2. The meteorological variables registered in the Meteorological Station Covered, San José of the Flagstones, during the period January-September/2023, they showed that the maximum temperatures reached in the region overcame the 32 ºC among the months of June to September and the coldest descended like average up to 21,1 ºC in January. The precipitations manifested increments starting from June, and they indicated the values higher means in May and August with 72 and 77 mm, respectively. The relative humidity varied between 47% and (minimum, in March) 84%, (maximum, in September) while the speed of the wind reached a maximum value of 3,6 km / h during the month of August. The behavior of these climatic variables allows to develop poultry production satisfactorily. Inside their facilities he/she is a system of poultry production, which conforms to for three productive areas, one of these areas is dedicated to the production of eggs with the employment egg-laying hens of the race White Leghorn, this area has a maximum capacity of 2 872 animals; another is the area dedicated to the production of turkeys whose capacity varies in function of the time of the year 1 500 animals (summer) and 3 000 animal (winter) and finally the area dedicated to the country hens also dedicated to the production of eggs with a capacity of 700 animals. In the Table 1 the data are shown obtained as for the movement of the animal mass in the system of poultry production, during the period of observation.

The daily quantity of material (Bmd) is in direct function with the quantity of biomass that is generated, be already domestic, agricultural residuals or of animal origin. Also, he/she should take into account the maximum quantity that one obtains and the plans of productive increments.
Parameters | Unit |
---|---|
Entrance data | |
Quantity of daily generated biomass (Bmd) | kg day-1 |
Proportion excrete-water (N) | kg L -1 |
Biogás yield (Y) | m3 kg-1 |
Time of hydraulic retention (TRH) | day |
Exit data | |
Daily volume of material (it mixes manure and it dilutes) (Vdm) | kg day-1 |
Volumen del biodigestor, (Vbiodig) | m3 |
Volumen diario de biogás producido (G) | m3 day-1 |
Daily volume of produced biogas ( ) | m3 |
Volume of the compensation tank (Vtc) | m3 |
The quantity of daily generated (Bmd) biomass, is determined through the following expression:
where: Ca - Quantity of animals; Ce-quantity of it excretes for animal, kg / day; Rp - Relationship between the animal population's weight alive average and the equivalent tabulated alive weight; Rt - Fraction among the time of estabulación regarding the duration of the day, h / day
where: PVp- Weigh lives the animal population's average, kg; PVe - I Weigh I live equivalent tabulated; You-hours of the day that the animal stabled, h / day remains
The daily volume of material (it mixes manure and it dilutes) (Vdm), is not more than the sum of the residual one and the dilution of the biomass (residual and it dilutes).
where: N: Proportion excrete-water, kg L-1, it is required to know that the density of the water is: 1000 kg/m3.
While, the volume of the biodigester (Vbiodig) is calculated being kept in mind the value of the volume of material (it mixes manure and it dilutes) Vdm that TRH enters at the biodigester and the time of retention.
Later on you proceeds to the calculation of the daily volume of produced biogas (G):
where: Y - biogas Yield, m3 kg-1
The biogás (Y) yield, is determined by means of the expression:
where: X - coefficient of energy conversion of it excretes it taken place daily that is to say the daily production of biogas in function of the type of organic residual, m3/day.
For all the biodigesters types, the volume of the compensation (Vtc) tank is equivalent to the volume of produced gas that is to say it oscillates among 25.30% of the volume of the biodigester.
In the specific case of the calculations for the sizing of a biodigester of fixed dome (characterized by their three parts: conical, cylindrical and spherical cap, represented in the Figure 1), they think about next.
The steps that should be continued for their employment are the following ones:
The total volume of the biodigester ( ) is calculated, about the base of the volume of the mixture water-manure and the time of retention, just as it is shown in the expression 4 .
The radio of the defaulted (R) volume is calculated.
To calculate the radio of the defaulted (R) volume, he/she thinks about the expression:
where: R- radiate basic, m
Being had the radio of the defaulted (R) volume, you proceed to determine the unit in meters (U = R/4).
where: U-Proportional unit
This proportional unit allows to determine the rest of the denominations, substituting U in the following proportions:
where: radiate of the dome, m; D -Diameter, m; -Height of the dome, m; Height of the cylinder, m; -Height of the cone bases, m
Starting from the determination of the geometric main parameters you proceed to determine the volumes corresponding to the cone it bases, cylinder and spherical segment of the dome:
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
⌅Technician-economic valuation of the introduction of a biodigester under the conditions of the system of poultry production of the University Farm "Guayabal"
⌅For the determination of the technology of appropriate biodigester to install under the conditions of the system of poultry production, belonging to the University Farm "Guayabal", one had in consideration the sizing and constructive cost of the technologies of biodigester of fixed and tubular dome of polyethylene, it stops starting from that analysis to determine which of the two technologies it would be of more feasibility on the base of the constructive costs or of acquisition of materials in the market.
Before proceeding to the mentioned determinations, one should know the flock movement in the productive system that propitiates to obtain in a direct way the excrement, which is reflected in the Table 4.
Mov. of Flock | Initial Existence | Existence Final | Animals/day | Animals / day, kg |
---|---|---|---|---|
Egg-laying hens Leghorn White | 2872 | 2872 | 2872 | 1,40 |
The obtained results of each one of these sizing parameters are represented in the Table 5, these values are obtained starting from the movement of the lot of birds, conceived by the address of the farm during the period January-September/2023, represented in the previous chart.
Taking in consideration the basics settled down by Morejón et al. (2022)MOREJÓN, M.Y.; TORRICO, A.J.C.; MORENO, M.V.; ABRIL, H.D.A.: Fundamentos para la introducción de las fuentes de energía renovables en sistemas agropecuarios. Caso de estudio: Introducción de biodigestores en fincas pertenecientes al departamento Cundinamarca, Colombia, Depósito Legal: 4-1-4299-2022, Publicado en: La Paz-Bolivia, por el Instituto Agrario Bolivia, con el sello editorial CienciAgro, 2022, ISBN: 978-9917-9928-0-6., that for each 1,4 kg of bird, 0,18 kg is obtained of it excretes, being generated 0,11 m3 biogas / day, with a proportion of 1:1-8 of excrete-water (taking a proportion of 1:1) and with a time of advisable retention of 30 days, then it is possible to determine the sizing of the biodigester of fixed dome for that species and quantity of animals.

Starting from the values obtained in the sizing of the biodigester of fixed dome, he/she intends that this biodigester possesses a volume of 22 m3, with the purpose of facilitating the installation process and acquisition of the necessary materials.
For the determination of the energy contribution, it is considered the quantity of biomass generated daily, the biogas yield and the daily volume of biogas (Table 6).
Matter source prevails | Animal/day | Mass Average, kg | Bmd, kg/day | Y, m3/kg | G, m3/día |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Egg-laying hens Leghorn White | 2 872 | 1,40 | 361,90 | 0,61 | 220,76 |
As it is represented in the Table 6, the biogas yield to obtain according to the species is of 0,61 m3/kg and for that quantity of animal stabled it is possible to obtain a daily volume of biogas of 220,76 m3/day.
To have a dear of the cost of the constructive process and of installation of the system of biodigester of fixed (without considering the manpower) dome, in the Table 7, they are related the materials required for the construction and installation of the technology.
