Intro: Biogas at home- Cheap and EasyHi there, I am Sahas chitlange, aging 14, from India. here is my homemade cheap and easy to build mini Biogas plant. It burns for approx. 20-30 mins on a bunsenburner. you can add anything from your kitchen waste ( Exept Onion peels and eggshells). In 12 hours the Gas is ready for use. It is very easy and cost effective to build(only 2-3 dollars) and gives many useful products.
the end products of this system are:1) Methane : (Can be used as a fuel)2) Slurry : (the spent slurry is exellent manure)
The main components oof this system are:
1) Inlet pipe2) digester tank3) gas holder tank4) slurry outlet pipe5) gas outlet pipe
Pls leave a comment

Step 1: Chose the correct containerYou 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.

Step 2: Make holesMake 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.

Step 3: Fix the inlet and outlet pipesGlue the Inlet pipe and the Outlet pipe with any water proof adhesive.

Step 4: Making the Gas holder TankI 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.

Step 5: Time to mix the cow dung !mix the cow dung (5kg for 50 liters) and add water to make a fine slurry. Now put the slurry in the digester tank.
Image Notes1. Cow dung
Step 6: Almost finished!Put the gas holder tank overturned in the digester tank after adding the slurry . REMEMBER: open the valve while putting the gas holder tank. the mini plant takes 10-15days for the first time to get output. For the first time, the gas in the tank wont burn as it contains Carbon Dioxide gas, if fortunately it burns then good or wait for thesecond time. You can detect how much gas is there in this system, the gas holder tank will rises up as the gas is produced.

Step 7: Working photosThe 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....

BiswajitB says: Sep 20, 2014. 2:42 AM REPLYhi sahas actually i wnt to know which material except cow doung we should add to the digester tank for getting more amount of gas
muhammad qamarS says: Sep 18, 2014. 9:07 PM REPLYcan anyone tell me that how much gas can produced by following this procedure or is it enough to fulfill 3-4 hour cooking need??????? Chitlange Sahas

ChamanL says: Sep 18, 2014. 4:24 AM REPLYguys i am interested in making of methane gas from cow dung . plz share ideas
coimbatorean says: Sep 8, 2014. 10:39 AM REPLYshould we grind the all the kitchen waste (leftover food, veg cutting waste) into a paste before adding to the bio gas digester ?
coimbatorean says: Sep 8, 2014. 10:23 AM REPLYHi Sahas,
Great Job.
One Doubt should we grind into paste form all the kitchen waste like veg cutting wastes, leftover food etc before adding to the digester tank ?
http://www.instructables.com/id/Biogas-at-home-Cheap-and-Easy/
My gtalk id is [email protected] do add me on google talk so that i can discuss this with you further before i try to make one
Wish you a Bright Future

Chitlange Sahas says: Sep 3, 2014. 1:14 AM REPLYPls post pic of the digester and slurry ( the liuid in tank) also try checking the acidity with litmus the liquid should be neuteal orther wise add some baselike baking soda to nutralize the mixture. Ask for further help if needed. Bye.
Post the pics immidiatelly......
eljay arcaba says: Sep 2, 2014. 6:43 PM REPLYhi sir. can we use other waste products instead of dung, like rotten fruits or vegetables to this biogas digester??
arjunps says: May 30, 2014. 1:01 AM REPLYif you put on the slurry then how will the tank in the top, which is gas holder tank in top will remain at same it will float. how it will be in air tight position, thebiogas will be loosened and let in the air...
Give me some suggestions, because i am doing this project for my diploma clge, and also send the details to my id [email protected].
Chitlange Sahas says: Aug 29, 2014. 11:49 PM REPLYThat wont happen sir.......... try with a glass and bowl of water

menkem says: May 27, 2014. 6:58 AM REPLYHello sir,good day.
i wonder how the dung is purred into the digesting tank
please sir i need more details at [email protected]
profusman55 says: May 9, 2014. 8:35 AM REPLYthis my email [email protected] please can you send me more detail
Chitlange Sahas says: May 5, 2014. 4:46 AM REPLYalso prasadkale please give me your email address so that I send you details next time ..
prasadkale says: May 6, 2014. 8:36 AM REPLYthank u very much sahas. ur replies are very useful for me. my mail id is :- [email protected]
Chitlange Sahas says: May 5, 2014. 4:44 AM REPLYprasadkale . the collector tank floating in the water slurry . and did you see the photo in step 3 . the pipes dont come in between the collector tank . Thecollector tank is freely floating in the slurry. and now see the photo in step 6 . the collector tank is without air . now after the process begins , the bacteriareleases methane and the tank gets full of methane. the tank rises . for using the gas place some bricks on the bucket and connect a bunsen burner withhelp of pipe and use the gas.
Chitlange Sahas says: May 5, 2014. 4:30 AM REPLYhello prasadkale . thanks for kind comment. The process that helps to produce the gas is Anaerobic digestion . the food feeded undergoes anaerobicdigestion by the bacteria inside. when anaerobic digestion process is going on . the bacteria releases methane as byproduct. And as the gas is released thetank rises up. this way the system works. if you are having any problems feel free to ask . BYE.
prasadkale says: May 4, 2014. 2:56 AM REPLYAnd another thing is that in the step 3 u showing the inlet pipe and outlet pipe. i want to askthat how can we put the gas holder tank on this pipes in digestertank.
prasadkale says: May 4, 2014. 2:51 AM REPLYhello sahas,
i m student of commerce in third year of graduation. ur idea is amazing plz i want to try it at my home. can u help me. i cant understnd:-
1) how can we put the gas holder tank in digester tank , i mean when we put it overturned how can it produce the gas, then what is the distance between gasholder tank and digester tank.
i m very excited about this idea of biogas.
