@ Pavore: This is a very good technology that has great potential of helping keep our streets free of refuse. Just thinking, can human waste be use in place of cow dung?

Is this biogas same as the gas coming out from suckaway that can be found in many compoubds round our cities?


Pavore9:
Once you start up the digester, you can comfortably add your bio-degradable kitchen waste into the digester alongside the cow dung. As long as you feed the digester it will continue to generate gas. One can also feed in grasses cut into smaller sizes.

The covering that looks like greenhouse protects the digesters from children because kids love to bounce on the digester when it is full of gas they assume it is bouncing castle grin Secondly it makes the digester warmer thus generating biogas at a faster rate.

The first pictures shows a woman pouring in waste into the digester through the inlet. As long as you feed the digester it will continue to generate gas.

The second picture shows the biodigester with its funnel (where the feedstock goes through)

The third picture is the outlet where the slurry comes out from after the feedstock has been digested. This slurry is organic fertilizer and it is also sold by owners of the digester. If you have a farm, then you have a steady supply of organic fertilizer.

The fourth picture is a newly set up biodigester.

Kenya's kibera slum have connected there toilets to one big underground biogas container, and they use that to power gas to thier kitchens. will bring you the link tomorrow

I really wonder if they sell sun-resistant and gas tight tarpaulines or waterproof in nigeria, anyone know where I can get them?

I think I can be of help. Our Solution is not necessarily about energy generation but conservation. Rate of energy consumption is what is critical in determining profitability.

Air Conditioning and Refrigeration account for over 70% of energy costs in buildings and factories. Our Solacoat Energy Efficient technology guarantees 30-40% reduction in air conditioning costs and 10-15% reduction in total fuel consumption in power generating sets.

For example, If a single branch of a bank consumes 100,000 litres of diesel in one month. We are saying that our technology can reduce that amount by 10,000 litres. Lets say a litre of diesel goes for #100 (which we know costs more), that translates to #1,000,000 saving in one month. Now, multiply that by 12 months and total number of branches (buildings) of the bank, hotel, school, hospital, warehouse, estate etc.

As for solving problems of high sun radiation and achieving gas tightness using waterproofing, our technology is exactly what you need. All you need is 2-3 coats of a Heat Reflective System with very high reflectance and emittance capabilities. We give ten years documented guaranty on our product.

This technology has been used by global companies like Coca Cola, and in countries like Singapore, Netherlands, UAE, Australia and more, and the results were amazing.

I am worried about the smell. Imagine a grown man searching for sh.it. and urine to put inside bag of sh.it just for gas. Isnt it better for us to find a way of generating electricity from Propane (LPG) which is just 3,400 naira per 13kg cylinder ?

@jcflex,

For fact is every home in Nigeria can not have this in their homestead. l have been to homes where it has been installed and l tell you for FREE that the issue of stench do not crop up, you really need to personally experience this to be fully convinced as this is a very environmental-friendly technology. The slurry that comes out after the waste has been digested and methane (biogas) produced is the organic fertilizer produced which some neighbouring farmers buy off from the owners of digesters.

The digester has a cross flow system where you feed it from one end and it flows across the digester and out the other other side. As it flows across the digester it is digesting and will fully breakdown so what actually comes out is dissolved minerals, there is no more fermentation going on as the food value has been exhausted.

Not everyone owns a cow nor have access to its dung, so once it is set up the dung is advised to be the initial feedstock after which kitchen/farm waste can be used, for those living around the riverine areas where the water hyacinth is a menace to water transportation, the water hyacinth is a very good feedstock as all they need to do is harvest the hyacinth from the river and have it chopped to smaller bits, so that it would digest faster and the gas is theirs for use.

In summary it is environmentally friendly as International organizations and Foundations have variously had it installed in communities and institutions in a bid to reduce dependence on the more conventional energy source such as charcoal, firewood, kerosene that are not health and environmentally friendly.

Some can key in at the level of production and retail the gas.

From my recent visit to a biogas centre in Kajiado County, the home of the Maasais in Kenya. The waste from the abattoir is used to generate biogas which fuels the big generator that powers the abattoir and they have also achieved packaging the biogas in a cylinder and it sells for half the price of the more common LPG.

lf you have some MBs to spare you can watch the less than 3 mins video of the possibilities biogas offers us all

It is not grim like you may imagine. You saw the link of the video on the first page, where the biogas centre is situated at the abbatoir and the waste was channelled to a receiving tank from where it goes into the digesters. As per the second option where the canvass/tarpaulin is being utilized, it is not only cow dung that is being utilized there as you can use feedstock such as water hyacinth, grasses (they must be chopped to smaller bit in order to digest faster). l assume you know the Mile 12 market in Lagos and have an idea the tonnes of vegetable waste generated there, that alone can power many mama put in that market cutting off the use of charcoal and firewood as their cooking fuel thereby saving our forests.

The quality could be related to your internet link as l just checked it and visuals were clear. Of course it can be done with human waste especially if you are going for digester built with blocks.

There are generators that uses LPG gas instead of petrol or diesel. An old technology. Just not popular in Nigeria because we generally don't use gas in Nigeria. Also, waste that has passed through a digester do not smell. The Biodigester is also an old technology. Also just not popular in Nigeria. Especially due to old way we do animal husbandry

I will research on the Propane generator and see what I can come up with. I will also see if its cheaper to generate energy from propane or if to stick to the status quo.
