Agriculture contribute large proportion to warm up the Earth, especially livestock. The effective measure such as biogas are essential for sustainable development. Although biogas can reduce pollutants in wastewater, wastewater still pollutes the environment.
This study collected data about biogas use in Tan Kim commune, an agricultural commune in Phu Binh district, Thai Nguyen province, to evaluate the effectiveness of biogas technology in household scale in hadling livestock waste treatment. All document related to biogas, Tan Kim’s condition is collected. It is the background for this research. Biogas outlet wastewater in Tan Kim is collected to analysis pollution level and effectiveness of biogas tanks.
The methodologies such as inheritence, comparision, random sampling and some lab method were used. Although the result demonstrates good status, many drawbacks were found. The outlet wastewater is not treated completely and many household, who use biogas, lack of secondary measure. They do not have biological ponds or sedimentation tanks to handle outlet wastewater of biogas.
In conclusion, biogas is an effective measure in livestock waste treatment, however there are some disadvantages need to be solved. Key words: Biogas, livestock waste treatment Number of pages: Date of submission 1/15/2015 n ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT To begin with, we know that knowledge is just only can be proved by our works, and internship is one of the best opportunity for student whose can do their first project before they find their jobs in the future. By this way, learners can easily experience more the working environment, and it is extremely important for our life after that. Besides that, we are not only improving ourselves by knowledge in company environment but also making more friends whose are having many experiences in environment, and it will help us in the near future.
From my perspective, this internship is absolutely needed, helpful and important. Because of that, and be assigned by the International Training Center and also the allowed of Tan Kim Commune people’s committee, I started the thesis: “EVALLUATION OF BIOGAS USED IN TAN KIM COMMUNE, PHU BINH DISTRICT, THAI NGUYEN PROVINCE”, I got helps from Professor. Nguyen Ngoc Ngoan, my supervisor. To well done this thesis, I want to express profound gratitude to Advanced Education Program, the school administrators, the staffs in Tan Kim Commune people’s committee, and particularly my supervisor, Professor Tran Ngoc Ngoan who is always supports me every single time I got troubles.
I would like to send him a warmly thanks for his support, and for his sacrifice for education, as same as environmental issues in Vietnam. All in all, I would like to say that I have tried my best to finish this thesis in my abilities. However, honestly, I partly believe that my thesis still have some problems because of the limitation of knowledge and reality experiences, especially in our environmental circumstances these days. It is totally happy if I can get feedbacks and comments from you, my teachers and supervisor to finish my thesis in a fantastic way, to get the best results.
