| dc.description.abstract | The idea of biogas as a diesel fuel substitute is not new. It is a very attractive
alternative, especially in countries rich in agricultural products and poor in
petroleum resources. It can be concluded from the study that while running
a diesel engine in dual fuel mode on diesel and biogas saved almost 40% to
45% diesel fuel. Bio gas was used in a single cylinder, direct-injection,
compression ignition engine, which has been modified to operate under
dual-fuel condition to generate electricity. The primary fuel is biogas, which
is ignited by a pilot diesel liquid injection. It is therefore recommended that
fixed dome biogas digester may be installed in such agroecological zones like
Islamabad.
As the price of diesel is rising in the global market at present, this dual fuel
system will help the Bangladesh firms to reduce costs and increase
production by saving diesel.
