This research aims to study biogas production in King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok Prachinburi Campus. Information of biogas energy from the food waste fermented in 2,000 liters capacity tank was analyzed to determine the heating value in order to calculate the Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Discount Payback Period (DPB). All the measured values from 15 days testing period are the gas quantity of 0.5-0.9 m3 and the average heat value of 10 MJ/m3.Ten fertilization chambers that have capacity of 6,000 liters each for biogas production should be replaced the original size of 2,000 liters tank because using the original tank could not reach breakeven point. By using 10 champers of 6,000 liters capacity each, the payback period has yielded within 5 years and 5 months and given the rate of return 22.48 percent per years throughout 20 years of recovery period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
