Sorry guys I have to book space for lot of questions

Yea, we'll pause in between for constructive questions.

Now i see....

Looking for something ?

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. PLS DON'T DROP YOUR EMAILS.

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.

Did you know that geese:

- eat more than 1-5 pounds of grass per day
- produce about 1-2 lbs of waste per day
- average about 5 goslings per year
- weigh 20 to 25 pounds
- mate for life and will stay together
throughout the year
- are federally protected by the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act
Take Flight Goose Management, LLC
Mating
• Mating season is February to early April.
• Geese will find a new mate if the mate is killed or dies.
• Geese return to the area of their birth each year to mate
and nest.

Nesting
• Nesting season is Mid March to May.
• Geese begin to nest at the age of 2.
• Geese will return to the exact site of the previous years nest
or sometimes a nearby pond or other body of water.
• When geese are chased from their traditional nesting area they
find alternative sites to nest.
• Geese will appear in pairs during nesting season. A solitary goose
typically indicates that a nest is in the vicinity and "he" is
standing guard.
• The average number of eggs in a nest is 5-6. However, there can
be as many as 10-12.
• Incubation time is 28 – 30 days.

Hatching/Maturing
• The goslings will be able to fly in 2-3 months.
• During the maturing time the adult geese do not leave the area.
• The geese will attack humans while protecting their young.
• The maturing period of the goslings overlaps with the molting
season for the adults.

Molting
• Molting season runs from early June to late July.
• Adult geese lose wing feathers during this time and are unable
to fly.
• Geese can fly again approximately 6 weeks after molting.
• Generally by August all geese are able to fly.
• During the molt geese need to be near water (any water) for
easy escape from predators.

Migration
• Migration season is October through March.
• Migratory geese flight range can be 2 – 3 thousand miles.
• Migratory geese do not become resident geese unless they are
injured.
• Resident geese do not know how to migrate.
• Resident geese can fly long distances as their migratory cousins,
but generally have learned that it is not necessary.
• Generally, during this time (from end of molt to beginning to
mating) resident geese will be "pond hopping" and foraging
to find food, water and safety.
• Migratory geese will "pond hop" and forage during this same
period until their migration habits take them back north for
mating.

Opps. Sowie..... Did not check really.

malonephill:
you rush to comment without proper checking, sorry anyway you need glasses, he open the thread on 16th which is friday

I'm confused. You visited the bank today Sunday ?

Sorry Sir, Don't understand you. Are you asking about the cost of digging a deep well in ilorin? It depends on your environment. We'll have to come over for inspection. Thanks

kokozain:
digging well(very deep water for drinking) in ilorin cost implication

What? TEHN is no more? What happened? Were they disbanded? Got lots of questions on my mind.

cococandy:
Anyway no need for that now. As I see tehn is no more.
