[Digestion] Biogas from a latrine

[Vianney Tumwesige]

Dear All,

I have been working on biogas installations with Cow dung and food waste
being the main feedstock, we recently got a prospect client interested in
hooking up a pit latrine to the biogas digester.

I have been able to sketch out a pit latrine but I am not experienced with
this kind of project. I intend to connect a 5 inch pipe and this will carry
all the human excrement towards the digester. Does that sound right? At what
angle should I place the pipe? I and the feedstock to flow by gravity.

Have you come a cross  drawings/schematics of the digester/pitlatrine
connection, especially those showing the slope? Am very keen because it's
our first pit latrine hook up, we need to get it right.  We have a good
mason which helps.

Thank you in Advance
