Why Biogas?

Colour of flame is bright blue, Combustion Temperature 600-

same as LPG 750 oC

Having Caloric Value for 20-26

Colourless and

Soy Sauce Home Produced liquid waste

Industries Produced liquid waste of up to 50 liters in one- It can use for producing
Biogas because of high

The Purpose of the Research
Utiilizing Tofu and Soy Sauce
liquid processed to biogas as an
alternative rewenable energy
.

Knowing the Volume result

and Quality of Biogas
produced from Soy Sauce
liquid waste as a new research

Increase the economic value

of Liquid waste of Tofu and
Soy Sauce which produced in
home industries
