Abstract
The present work has as main objective the technological assessment of Waste (vinasse) to generate electricity from the biogas generated in the anaerobic fermentation to the study object of BIOCOM a plant located in the municipality of Cacuso, Malanje Province. The vinasse is the main residue from the distillation of fermented wine of sugar cane, which is produced in bulk and has both nutritional characteristics and pollutants. The stillage has a high organic load, this load that is fermented in anaerobic digesters and reactors. The digestion is the fermentation of organic fillers in anaerobic environments produce a gas rich in methane. The biogas produced in the process can be recovered through chambers and piping systems that deliver gas to washing and subsequent use in heat engines. The technical analysis of the work aims to measure and qualify tools, machines and reactors required for the digestion occurs efficiently and that produces biogas with methane enough to power internal combustion engine.
