Abstract
Deenbandhu model is one of the most popular model used for biogas production throughout India. Because of faulty assessment of biogas plant, they have failed to deliver up to potential. The tool has been designed by developing simulation models and integrating these models with flowcharts of the design procedure. The expert system developed contains different simulation models including two main models and three sub-models. Indian standard based on family-size biogas plant designing has been used for validation of the models. The accuracy of the expert system is 98.7%. The confirmation and evaluation reported that expert system development was successful. The system developed has provided an option for economic analysis. This paper describes in detail about a computer-based expert system which can help in designing and planning of Deenbandhu biogas plant model.
