My Step By Step Guide On How To Build A Biogas plant That uses food waste by prof2015(m): 8:25pm On Aug 09, 2015 |
hat is Biogas...? For those who are not familiar with the term Biogas : Microorganisms 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 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 3 Likes 1 Share |

And a 500 liter tank for the digester tank also had it cut but the size of the cut must match the size f the 300 litre tank so i can drop the smaller tank into the bigger tank freely

i start by cutting a 4 inch hole on the 500 litre tank to fit my access bend attach the access bend and glue the edges with the gum to avoide leakage as shown in the picture

Then i cut out the side of the drum as shown in the picture and used epoxy resin gum to hold the 1 inch pipe to the body of the drum. i got disappointed when the pipe kept falling off so i used riveting pins instead

I used inflammable PVC gum to burn a hole on the bottom of the 300litre tank.You can use knife or any suitable object to cut the hole but be careful not to make it too big in order to avoid gas leakage then i sealed it with the epoxy resin to avoid leakage 1 Like
