targus: Thanks for the comment, what i'm looking for is eople that can do the Civil part of it.

targus: Hi, thank for your reply, I m looking for concrete build and the capacity I'm looking for is something that will be enough to power between 15-25kw generator for 24hrs daily and enough gas for domestic cooking .

slurry: 25kva & 24 hours running Do you intend feeding your community with electricity, if not then you must have heavy farm equipments/ gadgets that consume much power.
In that case, you will need to construct a digester that will have gas output of 7000 cubic feet daily and such a digester will occupy a land space of 38.37 square feet.
You need to have 50 herds of cattle with a live weight of 100lbs or 100 pigs with the same live weight as cattle.
Men this is a big project you want to embark on, but with enormous rewards if you can pay the price.

slurry: well its kind of two way things: if your farm is big, by big I mean with large animal stock yes you can go for that big biogas but if not then start small

FarmTech: ..
Your name is related to biogas. A mixture of manure and water is called slurry. Cute.

slurry: @ farmtech
U are very correct with d observation of my name & indeed its a cute name and profitable name.
There is lots of money & job opportunities to be made from farm wastes and other kinds of west waste and I think it's not too late for Nigeria to harvest from this profitable goldmine.

targus: Hi Slurry, Thanks for your comments. I'm willing to cut back if I have to but the plan is to use this to power recirculatory system for my fish ponds in future and also have enough to power my farm house. Maybe with 1 or 2 Ac's for a very hot days. The animal dung shouldn't be a problem because our pig farm should be in in production then.

Please what would be the size of a biodigester that can accommodate the manure of 12,000 layers every day? and wht would be the rough estimate for construction?.

FarmTech: ..
Only poultry manure is not that good bc of its low carbon content. U'll have to combine it with a source of carbon like cow dung, rice hull, i've forgotten others.

jamp: He can use poultry manure considering the capacity of his farm.

i will be constructing one very soon (mini biodigester) and i hope some people will join me when i start.

mercylicious:

FarmTech:
