Summary:This chapter contains details of operating a biogas plant beginning with start-up of the plant and the other aspects of running a plant such as regulating the plant operating pressure, maintenance and repair, and safety considerations. The procedure for starting a plant is well documented. Regulating the pressure of floating drum plants by the addition and reduction of weight on the gasholder is also captured. The common problems encountered when operating a biogas plant and the attendant maintenance practices are provided. Safety and health considerations such as adequate ventilation, engineering controls and adequate personal protective equipment are explained. The hazards associated with the production and use of biogas such as asphyxiation and disease are discussed. The chapter ends with a safety and health audit of biogas plants.
