In 1962, Patels design was approved by the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) of India and this design soon became popular in India and the world 15. In 1956, Jashu Bhai J Patel 14, developed a design of floating drum biogas plant popularly known as Gobar Gas plant. Hilly and Tribal hamlets are ideal for biogas generation as the people own livestock but lack power and resources like fertilizers. An experiment on biogas technology in India began in 1937 14. In this design, we are using 50 litres tank used for the.

They can be installed in community toilets and the power generated can be used to light the toilets. In order to plan a biogas plant and to design a digester, several design parameters must be determined which are: ratio of gathered waste fr om manure canals to total waste, number of cows in farm, amount of manure produced by a cow which is usually 1. This project represent a portable biogas plant to cater this gap and for providing clean cooking fuel. However, there is a decision to be made when the project plan identifies the need for additional feed materials (known as substrate). You can provide biogas and organic manure back to the farmers.īiogas can be used to light up low-powered devices such as LED lamps. Biogas digester design consideration: So you have a potential site for a biogas plant and, as in most cases, as a developer of a new plant, you will have at least some organic matter to use as feedstock. You can encourage farmers and people in your village to collect cattle dung and agriculture residue daily from their farms and households and use the same as feedstock in your biogasifier units. Rural entrepreneurship: You can be an entrepreneur and earn good revenue by staying in your own village by installing biogas plants.

Anganwadi centers can install biogas plants and use the left-over food/kitchen residue as feedstock for the plant. Government provides concessions for Women and SC/ST people. The advantages of the fixed dome plant include the simplicity of design, few moving parts, low cost to construct and low maintenance. This biogas plant model has become prolific across Asia and is known as a fixed-dome plant. If you are part of a self-help group (SHG), you can avail of this subsidy and install a biogas plant in your village in a school or community kitchen. Equipment Development Company of Nepal has developed the design for model 2047 biogas plant.
