Abstract
The research was oriented towards the design proposal of a fixed dome biodigester and the energy potential to be obtained from this system once installed in the university farm El Guayabal of the Agrarian University of Havana Fructuoso Rodriguez Perez in Mayabeque province, Cuba. For this purpose, the existing animal species in the scenario was determined, given that it will provide the organic waste to the biodigester, and the number of animals, considering the herd movement, which would make it possible to determine the biomass generated daily in order to establish the sizing of the appropriate biodigester technology and to know the behavior of the energy parameters. As a main result, a fixed dome biodigester (50 m3) suitable for the farm was designed. In spite of the high cost of materials for this type of technology (fixed dome biodigester), the energy savings, environmental preservation and local availability of the materials required for the construction of the installation were demonstrated, an aspect that will not limit the execution of the engineering work.
