Hi there, I am Sahas chitlange, aging 14, from India. Snapchat and Instagram: @chitlangesahas
here is my homemade cheap and easy to build mini
Biogas plant. It burns for approx. 20-30 mins on a I'd love to connect with you guys on Snapchat and
bunsen burner. you can add anything from your Instagram, I document the experience, learning
kitchen waste ( Exept Onion peels and eggshells). In lessons and also answer questions on those
12 hours the Gas is ready for use. It is very easy and platforms. Looking forward to connect! Here is my
cost effective to build (only 2-3 dollars) and gives username for both: @chitlangesahas
many useful products.

You will have to chose a correct size container which will act as a digester tank. My one is liters tank. I got it from
scrap.

Make holes in the tank for Inlet and outlet. For this I took a old iron rod and heated it to make holes. CAUTION: rod
is really very hot.

I took a paint bucket of 20 lts for making a gas holder tank. this tank holds the gas produced. The tank is
overturned and fixed with a valve used for plumbing purposes.

mix the cow dung (5kg for 50 liters) and add water to make a fine slurry. Now put the slurry in the digester tank.

Put the gas holder tank overturned in the digester contains Carbon Dioxide gas, if fortunately it burns
tank after adding the slurry . REMEMBER: open the then good or wait for the second time. You can detect
valve while putting the gas holder tank. the mini plant how much gas is there in this system, the gas holder
takes 10-15 days for the first time to get output. For tank will rises up as the gas is produced.
the first time, the gas in the tank wont burn as it
The photos of the system working are provided....... the heat is so much that it melts a thin sheet of tin in just 2
mins!!!! if you like this i'able please like and comment....
How can I apply that idear on my pit latrine and generate power.....which device will convert
generated gas into power or electricity..
Why is there a gap btn the digester tank and agas holder tank. Can't that let the gas escape
I thought the anaerobic bacteria is only activated when oxygen isn't present. Is it ok for air to enter
the system?
I wanted to ask the same question.... Please respond
I like your idea is great for a starter,I will make this one as a proto type,because I am getting off the
grid soon I only need to buy an inverter
Thank you. For your idea
The liquid left is amazing fertilizer, you could put in a drain off at a higher level than the working
rest, and recuperate it.
I think it would maybe need diluting before direct plant application, as it must be pretty strong.
Gas and fertilizer in one go! Who could want more from their waste?
the last picture confuses me, why the paint bucket is "floating". i belive that it must be well atachet
and sealed inside the tank. i mean, i believe the tank must be completly sealed, except by inlet
pipe, outlet pipe and the vale. if the gas holder thank is floating over the slurry, how much gas it
can contain and how much gas scape from digester tank?
Last question, why do you put that bricks over the gas holder tank?
sincerely i hope you can answer. i am very interested in this proyect, but need more information
and alternatives to use the cow dung. i live in the middle of the city and can't get it.
thanks for your attention
The top bucket NEEDS to expand/move as it recuperates the gas.
I guess you could find a way to put a rubber seal round its' "path", between the muck bucket and
the expansion bucket.
I was thinking about that too. Unless you are lucky enough to find 2 buckets, one that fits upside
down in the other PERFECTLY, then I suppose you need a seal. Some one said he built a cage on
the top of the gas bucket to stop it taking off, which seems to me a doable idea.
I love this project, it's the final touch for an autonom house!
hello dear. i am Ben from Nigeria. i will like to teach my collegues and friends this method to
generate biogas from kitchen waste and animal dung. I will appreciate if I can get more detailed
instruction manual on how to make this home made Biogas if possible with video .
Much appreciated
My email addressess idayodele@gmail.com
As you have internet try Youtube "Biogas converter DIY". Loads of videos on the same idea.
And what is left as liquid is great fertilizer, not toxic, and probably will need diluting or it will burn
the plants, as it must be condensed.
Hello there guys and earth savers. Im starting to build one. My question is, after filling the digester
with initial mixture, how many days will i wait until it will create a flamable gas? Secondly how
much mixture should i add everyday after the initial gas production to continue the methane
production if my tank is 100liter capacity ? Thrirdly im using quail dung, will this work? Thankyou.
please can goat and sheep droppings be used instead of cow dung?
please send the answer to my email

Hi, I plan build one, but I read that you need some kind of methane purifier so you're not going to
be dizzy or dead because of CO2s it produce along the methane(I'm not going to use just cow
dung), any suggestion ?
thanks so much.i'm working in a eco green house in the caribean and ilike to have more
information about biogas. please email me at rdm.mrr5@gmail.com.thanks a lot foryour kindness
Amazing share ! Must do and feedback
But can we use a 2 litre bottle as the digester tank and balloon s as biogas collecter??? Please
reply
Hi sahas. ths is sai i need u r help bro .i make a same type digester 20 days back in my home.now
its produce the gas but its not flameble(ignite) i can't understand plz help me.my mail id:
lynin.sairam@gmail.com
Biogas contains a varying ratio of Co2 which prevent the ignition of the methane and this ration can
be removed by passing the gas through limewater but I recommed Monoethanolamine because it
is more efficient but little bit expensive
and also there is hydrogen sulfide whch is believed to be harmful for machines and it can also
dissolve in any basic solution mentioned above.
I was young at that time. Click, click, publish.... By mistake left it...
Thanks

I really like this project I've been looking to do something like this for a while
nice you done , encorage your friends to do like you and save environment
Good day! This is amazing! Can you please email your procedure to
Kaneisha.rutherford@gmail.com
Please send me the procedure at topslee342@Gmail. Com
i found the cost to be a little off i admire your ingenuity in tool improvisations (hot rod in place of a
hole saw) and just building the system in general i am impressesd bravo
