Final Product of portable Biogas Plant

I was always searching for new techniques to produce biogas from animal and kitchen organic

waste at house level suitable for any urban area

Most biogas digesters out there are floating dome design or fixed dome design biogas digesters.

In this manual you will discover how to build a very simple and useful Biogas plant

The biogas plant consists of two parts:

1st is the Digester tank and 2nd is the Gas holder tank

The digester tank, also called fermenter is the place where fermentation of manure takes place

and the biogas is produced.

The Digester tank is made from a 1000 liter water tank and the gas holder piece is made from a750 liter plastic water tank.

I also used PVC pipe for the inlet and outlet pieces.

Here’s the concept of the Biogas Plant:

Components of the Bio-gas Plant.

The main components of the biogas Digester are a digester tank (Water Tank), an inlet (PVC

Pipe) for feeding the kitchen waste, gas storage tank (Tire Tube), an outlet for the digested slurryand the gas Pipe.

Material List for the Biogas Plant.

1. 700 liter water Tank ( used as Digester Tank)

2.

3 Inch Diameter and 3 feet in length PVC pipe (to be used as inlet pipe)3. 3 Inch Diameter and 2 feet in length PVC pipe (to be used as out let pipe)4. PVC Pipe adapter (to be used as funnel).

5. Iron nipple

6. Two PVC Pipe Caps7. Two Elbows

8. Plastic pipe 5 ft (to be used for delivery of gas)

9. Gas Valve

10. Supper glue (to be used for fixing of pipe)11. Sand

Tools required

A hack saw blade for cutting the pipes and a soldering iron cutting holes on the tank

Step 2 Making the inlet Pipe.

Take the PVC pipe and put it on the side of tank like in the picture below. Make a circle the

exact same diameter of the pvc pipe with a pencil.
