Biogas
The biogas production technology ( Fig. 1(1177)) from animal husbandry wastes is a potential
solution to the current energy crisis worldwide, particularly in the rural areas. This technology
aims to generate recycled energy, prevent environmental pollution, minimize the depletion of
forest resources, and create organic fertilizer for agricultural activities.
Production Process
Input
The input to the biodigester comes through a ditch ( Fig. 2(1193)) attached through a siphon
system, with a size of 0.2 x 0.4 x 0.3 m, connecting the wastes from the animal shed to the
biodigester ( Fig. 3(1045)).
Biodigester
Output
The output of the biodigester goes through a PVC exhaust pipe with a diameter of 100-150 mm,
and a vertical and horizontal length of 45 and 80 cm, respectively ( Fig. 4(1465)).
The biogas waste box is constructed next to the bio-digester. Rice straw is deposited into this
box to become organic fertilizer.
This biogas reservoir system ( Fig. 5(1385)) collects and stores gas from the biodigester for
cooking. The system normally has two to three plastic bags with 17-20 mc. Each plastic bag has
a capacity of 1.5-2 m3. The collected gas is then used as fuel for the kitchen stove ( Fig.
6(1230)).
