FEASIBILITY OF USING BIOGÁS AS A FUEL, IN THE BRICK INDUSTRY IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF CHIAPA DE CORZO, CHIAPAS, MEXICO.

This article reports the feasibility study results to contribute to the sustainable development of Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapas. Mexico, by means of the introduction of a biogás system produced in anaerobic digesters fed by cattle excreta so that such biogás can be used as fuel at the brick industry in Chiapa de Corzo. Data concerning the fuel used and the number of people involved were recorded, as well as the amount of analyzed kiln carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted. Additionally, an anaerobic digester installed at a nearby ranch was assessed to determine potential biogás production. Furthermore, a purification and compression prototype designed at Universidad del Valle de Mexico, Tuxtla campus was subject to test in order to determine the potential biogás use when stored and shipped.Key Words: Biogás, Brick Industry, Compression of Biogás, Biogás Purification.
