DIY:making of homemade biogas

in #steemiteducation6 years ago (edited)

Biogas system is a system for managing biodegradable materials for production of renewable energy.
From this system farmers gets to utilize every biodegradable materials around him to benefit himself instead of spending money to get it removed from the yard it can be used to make series of thing which will inturn be very helpful for the farmer,biogas can be manufactured from some raw materials like kitchen wastes,animal wastes, green wastes,fruits wastes,even human waste are you shocked?yes your shit can be used for biogas,the list of biodegradable materials that can be used for biogas production are many but i am going to leave us with this ones mentioned earlier.
You may be surprised on how this materials will produse a gas that can be used at home now lets see how this happens
how the gas is formed

This gas is formed from the anaerobic fermentation of carbohydrates in all the waste i listed above by a bacteria .the gas produced mainly contain methane and other traces of gases but in smaller quantity now i guess you are now on track ok lets go straight to how to produce a home made biogas
###how to produce a home made biogas###

  • components used in producing this biogas system are
    Pipe
    Digester tank
    Gas holder tank
    Inlet and outlet pipe
    Slurry exit pipe
    Now lets go

Step1..choose a good size of container

2.cut a pipe hole in the container as shown below


3 attach the inlet and outlet pipes to the hole that was cut earlier and make sure you glue it witha waterproof adhesive

4.construct a gas holer tank
Here you can use any rubber of you choice that is 20lts by volume,i choose to use a pain bucket,then turn the bucket uoside down and fix a valve as shown

Its getting intresting right? Here you do the dirty works
5.mix the cow dung ooops i never mentioned that we are going to use cow dung alright thats what we are going to use although other things can be used ,add water to make it look slurry and put into the digester tank(use 4kg for 40liters)

6.now we are almost done,
Insert the gas holder upside down in the digester tank,make sure the valve is open wwhile inserting it,it take minimum of 15 to 10 days for firt gas output although the gas wont burn due to the trace es of carbon dioxide in it but the second time the gas will surly burn

Volume of gas in the system can be detected by the rse of the gas holder tank from the digester as the gas is being produced.


With this you are set to use a biogas

Very educative
And also in simplified English
Kudos bro

Great write up mate
Learned a lot from it
I can now go ahead to make mine

Nice post. I never knew there was anything like biogas wow but then cow dung seems kinda messy. What can the methane gas be used for?

It being used in place for cooking gas

Well articulated.

Nice project! I will definently try this soon!
