DON'T JUST THROW AWAY YOUR KITCHEN / FOOD WASTE.... CONVERT IT TO CLEAN ENERGY....
EQUIPMENTS NEEDED
1. PLANT - with water gasket
2. BIOGAS STOVE easily available in market
3. TUBE FOR CONNECTING PLANT AND GAS
PLANT ARE AVAILABLE IN 3 SIZES FOR DOMESTIC PURPOSE - 500, 1000 AND 1500 LITRES...
500 LITER PLANT WILL BURN UPTO 1 HOUR PER DAY - 3 KG WASTE
1000 LITER UPTO 2 HOURS OF BURNING - 5 KG WASTE
1500 LITER UPTO 3 HOURS OF BURNING - 7 KG WASTE
INITIAL SETTING UP
Arrange pure cow dung and fill 1/4 th of inner tank mixing with water, must remove all hard particles. Otherwise it may lead to blockage later. Add some coconut water around 10 litres, it will be available in coconut oil mills. Coconut water increases the speed of degradation and gas formation. Gas will rise inside within 1 or 2 days.... release the first gas into free air.... it cannot be used for burning.........
Next stage is to add easily degradable substance like Cabbage leaf, try to arrange it from a vegetable shop..... even rotten Cabbage will do.....
for eg if are putting 5 kg cabbage, add equivalent water.....
Place a bucket to collect the slurry on the other side of input.......
Start using the gas to burn.... initially it may not perform well... one to two weeks is a settling time for the plant unit....
All type of food waste can be fed to the plant, including water left after boiling rise ( kanhivellam ).
THINGS TO BE NOTED
DON'T PUT THINGS LIKE ORANGE, LEMON WASTE ETC WHICH ARE HARD AND TAKE TIME TO DEGRADE.... IT MAY LEAD TO BLOCK INSIDE THE TANK.
MINIMUM THE CUT PIECE SIZE OF THE WASTE , EASILY IT WILL RELEASE GAS.
NEVER ADD ACIDIC ITEMS.
WHEN ADDING THE FOOD WASTE PRESS IT WITH A STICK AND PUSH IT INTO THE TANK.
WHILE PRESSING THE STICK IF U FEEL ITS HARD INSIDE, ADD WATER.
ONCE IN A WEEK, REMOVE THE WATER CONTENTS INSIDE THE TUBE WITH CIRCULAR MOTION.
HOT WATER INCREASES THE GAS FORMATION..... JUST LIKE HOT WATER INCREASES THE DIGESTION OF HUMANS.....
THE SLURRY U GET FROM THE UNIT IS AN EXCELLENT FERTILIZER FOR YOUR GARDEN. PLANTS GROW VERY FAST AND STRONG.
PLACE THE PLANT OUTSIDE THE KITCHEN AND INSTALL THE TUBE THROUGH A HOLE IN WALL OR WINDOW.....
KEEP IT IN A CERTAIN DISTANCE SO THAT FOUL SMELL SHOULD NOT DISTURBS.
ONCE IN A YEAR NEED TO REPLACE THE COW DUNG MIX INSIDE THE TANK, SO MAKE A PIT - 1MTR X 1MTR X 1MTR NEAR BY TANK AND OPEN THE VALVE TO CLEAN THE TANK COMPLETELY. THIS WASTE AGAIN IS AN EXCELLENT MANURE...
ITS NOT AN EASY JOB AND FOR THOSE WHO CARE FOR NATURE ITS NOT TOUGH TOO...
FOR A 6 MEMBER FAMILY, IT WILL REDUCE THE LPG GAS USE BY 40%.
CURRENT SAVING FOR THOSE WHO USE INDUCTION STOVE.
ITS PORTABLE.... CAN BE EASILY RELOCATED...
CLEAN ENERGY FROM WASTE...
ENERGY AND GOOD FERTILIZER AS OUTPUT...
