Fixing the Waste Feed Pipe

Clean the inner surface of door elbow and bottom outer surface 120 mm dia waste feed pipe

Apply PVC solvent cement over both the cleaned surfaces

Join them together immediately before the solvent cement dries out

Place the cap on top of the feed pipe

Place the Gas Holder Tank and Finish

Gently lift the gas holder tank and place it over the digester tank so that the 40 mm dia guide couplers fixed on the sides of the gas tank sits over the 32 mm dia couplers on the digester

Place one set of guide pipes through the 40 mm dia coupler as seen in the photograph

Now our Biogas plant is ready...

The tank ABOVE was placed face down Into the one sitting on the terrace.

The 1st picture is the DIGESTER.
The 2nd picture is the GAS HOLDER TANK
The 3rd Picture is the DIGESTER & GAS HOLDER TANK
Now the GAS HOLDER TANK will be placed inside the DIGESTER, FACE DOWN, BOTTOM UP.

I hope you understand my explanation?

It will be a pleasure to train you personally, One on one but it's christmas season. I'll be on vacation with my family. God willing, January we'll map out a plan to train people 1 on 1.

umm m loving this, bt op please dont forget to intimate readers n those interested in building a similar biogas plant d science behind it. accordin to what i read somwhr online. the first production of d gas will contain impurities such as carbon dioxide which may impair d function of the methane. and please also lets us know ow long it will take before biogas is produced after adding the organic waste items. thank u @dexpro

DAY SEVEN

Feeding the Biogas Plant for the First Time cool

Initially you need to feed fresh cow dung to start the process. On the same day this plant was made ready, I collected about 10 kilograms of cow dung from nearby farm and another 20 kilogram the next day. Visited a cattle farm again and collected 50 kilograms of more cow dung. Now I have a total of 80 kilograms of cow dung for initial feed.

I have diluted these 80 kilograms of cow dung with about 300 liters of water. I have also added about 250 grams of country-made jaggery (it is a concentrated solid product made from sugarcane, palm sap and coconut sap).

*[/b]The addition of jaggery will help the multiplication of microorganisms at a faster rate. If you can't get this no problem.

This mixture was fed into the digester through the feed pipe.

After feeding, wash the feed pipe and replace cap.

We use bore well water. Most of the water supplied through municipalities, corporations are treated with chlorine. [b]Do not use chlorinated water as this will kill all microorganisms
. If you have access to only chlorinated water, then keep the required amount of water open to atmosphere overnight and stir well, so that the chlorine evaporates.

Following closely. Saw this at Songhai Farms recently and I've been awed by how it works. Thanks for explaining this OP.

@DEXPRO,
Well done Boss

@ DEXPRO I would like to know when you Place the Gas Holder Tank over the Digester, Do you use any GUM to Glue the two points where they closed together. Because I think that there could be space between them when you put the two together which could Lead to LEAKAGES! I hope you understand my point. Please reply.

You don't seem to get it. Earlier in my post i said i'm building a FLOATING TYPE GAS HOLDER METHOD. The gas holder tank when placed properly and fed, when gas is produced pressure is built and the gas holder tank begins to rise. LEAKAGES will be reduced to the bearest minimum because we measured both tanks. In my second post titled SELECTION OF TANKS, i wrote this ¨During market search, I found that the 500 liters capacity tank will meet the requirement, having a width difference of about 100 mm, that means 50 mm on each side. So, I have decided to use the 500 liter tank as gas holder, which will have an up-and- down movement inside the digester using guides.¨

I hope you understand. So @akinz4 please don't glue your tanks ooo grin grin grin
