GUARDIA-PUEBLA, Yans et al. Structural analysis of a fibrocement anaerobic bioreactor for finite elements method. Ingeniería Mecánica [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.3, pp.196-202. ISSN 1815-5944.

The paper consist on asses the mechanical resistant of the fibrocement tanks as a proposal of an anaerobic system of low cost for biogas production. For the design was used the finite elements method (FEM), which it is fundamental tool to carried out the structural analysis of the resistant to the traction of the anaerobic bioreactor. With this new system, a suitable option to spread, of sustainable and economic means, the biogas production on rural zones. For the design was used fibrocement tanks of 1900 L, and pipes and accessories plastics, achieving a maximum volume of cumulative biogas of 1,12 m³.The fibrocement tank was not accomplished with the necessary specifications to achieve the design aim; for that reason, a new dimensional design was developed to guarantee the traction resistant as anaerobic bioreactors.

Keywords : anaerobic bioreactor; finite elements; fibrocement; biogas; design; resistant.
