Biogas For Beginners: Off Grid Eco Power a DIY Guide
This book is a straightforward guide for the complete beginner!
In less than a day you will learn:
◆ That you don’t have to high gas bills anymore
◆ That you can easily make free gas for cooking & heating
◆ That you can save money and help the environment at the same time
◆ And much, much more!
It’s incredibly easily to build your own methane gas biodigester. You can create a limitless supply of free gas for cooking, heating and running generators in your own back garden. All it takes is a few low-cost pieces of equipment and the correct knowledge.
This book contains the knowledge you will need to build and setup your own backyard gas making factory inside your own back garden. One that will create an endless amount of free biogas using nothing more than bacteria and food waste.
Whether you live in the city or the off grid, now you can help yourself and start to free yourself from the grip of the power companies by providing your own biogas free of charge.
Specifically written for the complete beginner with no knowledge of biogas and its production, this book will guide you towards building and maintaining your own backyard biodigester.
If you want to save money on your bills, help the environment, or live your life off-grid then this is your first step on the ladder to your new life.

Digestate or slurry from biogas digester useful as organic plant fertilizer
From waste to useful effluent as organic plant fertilizer. I noticed my chilli plant starts flowering everytime I pour the effluent to the ground below it.
It is very obvious when effluent from biogas digester used onto chilli plant, its flowers bloom significantly thrn producing lot of chillies.

How to feed a biogas digester to produce biogas
To feed a biogas system we need to know how much to put into it. Because the system is a biological one and operated by bunch of methane microbes, we need to know the background temperature where you placed the digester to determine the volume they can consume within a period of time. Too much feeding will cause sourness shows unability of the microbes to cope (overfeeding). Methane microbes activity will only work in optimum within a narrow pH window like 6-8. So the amount of feed is very critical to maintain the system in a balance easily control by looking at pH. I am very lucky able to find temperature data at my place. The average is like 26.8 celcius. So, according to David David William House 's graph (look below), the approximate HRT* is 45 days. So, it is safer for me to decide to choose 50 days HRT for my digester. To determine how much to feed daily is by calculating = digester volume (liter) / HRT (day) = 200 liter/50 days = 4 liter/day. Again, rule of thumb do not get solid food waste over 50% of daily feeding volume. In my case for 4 liter feeding, 2 kg of food waste is the maximum volume then mix with 2 liter of water to a total of 4 liter. If you do not have confident and do not want to get your system sour lets try less than 50% food waste of your daily feeding volume. Please try and error, experiment with your system and you will learn a lot finding the most optimum condition to run your system.
HRT - hydraulic retention time
HRT indicates the number of days required for a given amount of digestion to occur at a specified temperature. The general idea is that the colder things are, the longer things take. Of course, it could therefore also represent the size of the digester needed for a given amount of daily feedstock, since that daily amount will have to stay in the digester an approximate number of days, the digester will be correspondingly larger as the average temperature drops.

How to operate a small scale biogas digester system
Biodigester operates like a stomach. Everything goes in will have to go out after fermentation. The amount that goes in is about the same with the one you draw out. It has to be systematic and consistent to ensure the digestion system works properly all the time. According to a simple formula I posted previously in this group, for this 160 liter digester, the size of feeding is about 160/50 or to make it simple 150/50 equals to 3 liter. So for 160 liter system, it is advisable to feed 3 liter at a time. To follow a rule of thumb or common practice in feeding you have to apply 1:1 ratio. Best is to mix 1.5 kg of organic waste to 1.5 liter of water or total up to 3 liter there you have 3 liter feed in 1:1 ratio. Next step is taking out 3 liter of existing slurry out as an excretion from the system and add 3 liter of liquid waste into the system as its fresh feed. To ease the process its best if you prepare a 3 liter bucket to be used for the purpose so that you wont just simply do things without knowing the exact volume and jeopardize the stabiliy and equilibrium of the process in years to come.

Design and construction of mini biogas digester for family use
The biogas digester is composed of a green house made with hollow sunlight sheet and metal supporting frame, a membrane digester with a gas storage bag combined in one, a stainless steel sink, a stainless steel outlet, a biogas filter and a biogas booster pump:
1. Biogas production of 2m3/day is good enough for a family
2. It is a DIY kit small scale biogas system for convenient transport and easy assembly.
3. It is surface mounted, there is no need for digging or heavy construction.
4. It can be assembled within 2 hours by anyone with manual and video guidance.
5. Treated organic waste locally, use biogas for cooking, electricity or feed garden with nutritious liquid fertilizer.
6. Used for family, farm, restaurant, hotel, resort to treat organic waste, such as food waste, sewage sludge, animal waste.
7. Light weight and easy to install, packed in carton box.
8. Life span more than 10 years - made of stainless steel frame
9. Raw material of green house and PVC biogas storage bag
10. Specification 156*120*195cm
11. Methane Content 65% which is excellent for cooking
