With due respect to the moderator of this section, i hope this is the right section to post this very useful material. Over the past three years, research has been ongoing on how to harness the power of BIOGAS. The past few weeks have been difficult for some people because of the ARTIFICIAL fuel scarcity being encountered in our dear country. Aside from the fact that PMS is scarce, kerosene is way on the high side too.

In view of this, i have decided to take any person who might be interested in generating his/her (Cooking/Electricity) energy @ home by the hand on how to construct a 500L BIOGAS TANK for domestic consumption ONLY.

This lesson is made possible by my teacher in BIOGAS TECHNOLOGY, MR J. Antoni Raj. (Rtd) Civil Engineer, Uthamapalayam and Dr. S Ajmal Khan, M.sc, P.hd, Professor- Emeritus, Centre of Advanced Study in Marine Biology, Annamalal University, Paranglpettai, India.

All lectures will be supported with pictures. I need 10 nairalanders to indicate interest before i proceed.

Biogas Plant Using Kitchen and Food Waste

This is my attempt at constructing a medium sized Biogas plant for home use as well for demonstration to students and others using a 750 liter capacity tank as digester and a 500 liter capacity tank as a gas holder, a floating type gas holder method. I have provided easy to understand step-by-step instructions on how to build the plant. Please go through and feel free to post your comments and queries with respect to biogas.

The big question??

What is Biogas, What is Biogas Plant and How it Functions...?

What is Biogas...?

For those who are not familiar with the term Biogas :

Micro-organisms who thrive in the absence of air digests the organic material and releases a mixture of gases. The gases thus produced contains mostly methane along with other gases like Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen and Hydrogen Sulphide in small quantities. This process is known as anaerobic digestion.

Methane is a colorless and odorless gas and is highly flammable. (It is Hydrogen Sulphide that smells bad) Methane is not poisonous.

Methane along with other gases occurs naturally in swamps, waste dumps and even in home toilets in the septic tank. Due to its highly flammable quality, it can be used as fuel. But capturing the methane from the atmosphere is very difficult as it is lighter than air. The Biogas Digester or Biogas Plant we see here is a device which helps us in collecting this gas and use it as fuel.

Biogas Plant

You can see the opened-up prototype of a Biogas plant in above photograph.

The Biogas plant consists of a digester tank, where the organic material is stored and the microorganisms work on them and release gas.

The gas thus produced is collected in a tank known as gas collector. In a floating type model, this tank is floating in the slurry and moves up-and-down based on the amount of gas stored in it.

A guide pipe helps the gas collector tank to move up-and-down inside the digester tank.

Waste is fed through feed pipe inside the digester tank.

The fully digested slurry drains out through the outlet pipe. This can be collected, diluted and used as fertilizer for plants.

A gas pipe line from the Gas collector tank helps in utilizing the gas for cooking and lighting

Now let's get down to business and construct a medium sized Biogas plant for home use.

Good morning Nairalanders. Training will commence later in the day. Thanks
