Pavore9:
Last night l watched a Kenyan diary farmer who is generating 300kg of biogas daily from the digester in his farm, the funny thing is that the guy is retailing the biogas using tyre tubes, selling a kg of biogas for N300! Nna men, see business o!

jamp:

bros am still interested in the biogas production using poultry droppings from my farm. as pointed out by farmtech I need cow dung to make it work well.

AreaFada2:
@ Slurry, estimated cost for a small biodigester able to produce 5kw, 7.5kw & 10kw would be nice to have.

slurry:

Lets do some arithmetic:
A/C of 1200 watts of 2 units = 2400wats/hour
Fish pond pump of 300watts of 1 unit = 300watts/hour
Other appliances and cooking = 2300 watts/hour

Total watts = 5000watts / 5kva

So targus we just divide your initial 25kva by 5 to get 5kva meaning my earlier post estimates will also be divided by 5.
Hope its clear.

5KW per day or per hour? Biodigesters are not sized like that. They are sized according to the volume of slurry they can contain.

FarmTech:
You have some pictures?

Pavore9:
l didn't take pictures as l was given a short video which captured all l needed to know. l will take snapshots from it.

Agathabishen:

Can you post the video on your blog please? I realy want this biogas stuff. Thanks

Pavore9:
Hian! na work you want give me so! Okay l will do that in the next few hours if sleep no carry me go!

FarmTech:

..
Yes he can use poultry manure but he CANNOT use only poultry manure. If he does it will not work. He must combine it with a source of carbon for it to work. Read this and understand better:

@ Pavore9, thanks for the eye opener as regards the biogas. My question is what is the rate of consumption of a 300kg of biogas when used cooking and to power electrical gadget like 3000W output? Thanks in anticipation for a quick response

Pavore9:


Let me go with this description.

lf you use the tarpaulin digester like the ones l have uploaded severally it digests the feedstock faster as against the underground system and generates more biogas. With what is readily available in Nigeria l will suggest you watch this short video, it will help you start out easier. l saw a Kenyan family in a rural area having 5 drums of digesters in their homestead as it is used for cooking and powering the 'l better pass my neighbour' sized generator in the evenings.

Thanks for the video.

hello slurry..
i just sent you a private message...pls can you contact me with your details...may be an email addy or phone number
i want a little help on bio digesters....i am working on my project...would need to discuss with you

i wonder why this topic is stalled...

Like seriously ah wonder y this sweet topic wit great economic value is jst dormant....
Am working on this too for my m.sc project though I will only be comparing gas production for cow dung, poultry waste as against different mix ratios of both manure, using a manometer to measure water displacement by the produced gas for 5-7days....
Would be following this topic cos I intend to go commercial on this in the near future.....u guys who have been there and done that pls kip the thread alive
Cc slurry,FarmTech,Pavore9 etc
