The pre‐feasibility study and design of a biogas recovery and transport system for power generation was carried out. The purpose of this study was twofold: to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by the anaerobic lagoons of the San José (Lambayeque) wastewater treatment plant; and to obtain a renewable energy source that could make the plant self‐sustaining. Initially, information on the current state of the system and on the plant operating conditions was collected. Then, after analyzing the data obtained and applying the guidelines of the Inter‐American Development Bank (IDB) for Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects, the amounts of GHG emitted in the environment was estimated to 33,885 t CO2e / year. Solutions to the problem were then proposed and, among them, a cover system was considered as the most appropriate. This allowed an estimation of the annual...

Con el objetivo de poder reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) producidas por las lagunas anaerobias de la planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales del distrito de San José en Lambayeque y conseguir una fuente de energía renovable que pueda hacer autosustentable a la planta se realizó el Estudio de pre‐factibilidad y diseño de un sistema de captación y transporte de biogás para la generación eléctrica; inicialmente se observaron y recopilaron datos del estado actual del sistema y las condiciones de la planta, posteriormente mediante el análisis de datos obtenidos y aplicación de lineamientos del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) para proyectos de Mecanismos de Desarrollo Limpio (MDL) se buscó estimar las cantidades de GEI emitidas al medio ambiente, siendo estas de 33885,04535 tCO2e/año; se procedió a realizar propuestas de solución al problem...
