Low cost biogas digester design and lay out




I have always think of ways to recycle my kitchen wastes. Living in housing area with limited backyard space unable me to dig appropriate hole to bury all my kitchen waste without leaving smelly odor. I don't have any experience composting and food waste easily become smelly if you do not handle them properly. Then I came across anaerobic composting which is enclosed and used cow dung as starter. I feel this technique is practical and easy to construct. To make it interesting, I want to use a modified garbage bin and call it food waste recycle garbage bin just like when you throw your usual wastes into a dustbin but mine is a little bit different in which it can recycle organic wastes. That's how I came up with the idea.

Its not really difficult. Take a normal standard garbage bin at modified it a bit by installing inlet for feeding, outlet port for effluent and outlet valve for biogas to be collected into a tyre tube. Its that simple.

Then I built bigger module have an upgrade experience from my first biodigester as above. The new digester is 160 liter and connected to 500 liter biogas bag as storage. I also found how to modify a normal burner into a biogas burner.





Now I convinced that biogas generated at home really can be used for cooking.
