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 a
750 liter plastic water tank.
I also used PVC pipe for the inlet and outlet pieces.
Heres 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 slurry
and 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 Caps
7. 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 1
Here are some photos of the biogas plant tank and components.

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.

Inlet PVC pipe fitted; The pipe shouldn't touch the bottom of the tank

Cut the extra length of the PVC pipe (should be equal to the top of the tank)
