WHAT IS HYDROCARBON? HOW IT IS EXTRACTED? CAN I MAKE HYDROCARBON IN HOME?

 

WHAT IS HYDROCARBON?

Before going deep inside hydrocarbon let's get some more information that relates to this problem. South India is famous for its culture, music, agriculture, and clothing. Krishna- Godavari delta region is known as the rice bowl of India as it produces a high quantity of rice. On another side, many problems were caused by River Kaveri between Karnataka and Tamilnadu. 

Kaveri coal-bed methane extraction project is a series project which includes extraction of methane and hydrocarbon from the coal-bed in Kaveri. 

Hydrocarbon extraction might harm the farmer's agricultural life and they couldn't even farm while hydrocarbon is running.

 WHY THERE IS A NEED FOR HYDROCARBON EXTRACTION?

Are you seeing this article in any of the gadgets you like? Do you think your charge runs away after hours and hours of work? Then what would you do? Usually, when our charge goes down we connect our phone to the charger and recharge our phones. During this sauteing summer, you sit in a nice cool room with Ac on. You wash your clothes without any effort due to the washing machine. Do you see any similarities in these answers? Yes, electricity is the common similarity found in these answers. Electricity plays a major role in our daily life. Try to list the things you use without electricity. When you end up writing the answer you come to know the things you use with electricity are more than the things you use without electricity. Hydrocarbon is extracted to produce heat and electricity. 

HOW IS HYDROCARBON EXTRACTION MADE?

Hydrocarbon extraction is a must for a country but doing it in the right way matters a lot. We must save our farmers and also mine the hydrocarbon. Is it possible? Many foreign countries import garbage from other countries. Why? India generates 62 million tons of garbage each year. Methane is the main component of hydrocarbon. Nearly 92% of methane is extracted in this process. But the amount we extract is less than the methane which escapes into the air. 1 tonne of garbage is capable of generating 40 kg of methane which is perfectly sufficient for creating two gas cylinders. This helps India protect farmers and generate electricity too. 

Then can I make methane from the garbage in my home? Yes, let's take the steps simple. Take a 20l water can. Now insert to PVC pipe one in the top and one inside by piercing hole in the can. Insert a burner pipe in the main hole through which water pours out in a can. Now take a vessel add 1l water and dissolve 1kg of dung which is rich in bacteria that helps in creating methane. After few days methane will be produced through the burner pipe. Make sure you paint the can black which doesn't allow the sun to penetrate through the can. 

Making plans for the wellness of the people doesn't mean to hit one side and offer the other side. Making the right plan without affecting the people is more important.
