Project Biogas Digester:

Project Biogas Digester Using Pig Waste

I thought of making a new biogas digester for our piggery, which was already smelly and causing neighbors to complain. But to my surprise an old tank, which my father built years ago, is already in existent. I think it is big enough to handle wastes of about 8 to 12 pigs. I decided to transform this into a digester. :

But to my surprise an old tank, which my father built years ago, is already in existent. I think it is big enough to handle wastes of about 8 to 12 pigs. I decided to transform this into a digester. Problem is I have to remove this big tube, and its really smelly and messy around this area. But persistence, that is for our neighbors’ sake, for free gas and fertilizer, and greener earth.

This is the model I am working on.:

After removing the big tube, we made a cement plaster and covered the holes. We installed a roofing, and then create the inlet and the outlet of the tank. :

Then we made a kind of dome cover for the tank. An improvised dome using an inverted big cooking pan, to make a shape of a dome. It’s my nuclear mini-reactor. Whew! Good thing is I finally found a usage for these spare old rusty chicken wires.:

We also fabricated a drainage system for the pig’s waste. :

As gas temporary container, we will be using some tire rubber interiors. Maybe by May this year, we will be able to produce our first biogas for cooking. Thanks to Vox and the other guys who started posting their biogas projects. Yes, we go for free energy and greener earth! Thank you for watching.:
