[Digestion] Larger scale biogas

[Paul Harris]

G'day Vianney,

 

The starting point is to find out/estimate the holding tank size and the
daily input/output (depending which way you look at it!) of manure. It may
be that the anaerobic digester is already there and a cover will collect the
methane ready for use. What happens to the manure after the tank?

 

All the best,

HOOROO

Dear Friends,


I guess this email finds you well. I am heading to Kasese today, however, I
would want to share yesterday's photos with you (sorry the dates on the
photos are for Feb 14th 2012 - my camera seems to be crazy lately!!).

This is a farm 40 km away from Kampala, a long Hoima Masindi road. The farm
has over 600 dairy cows, 250 of these are in a single facility that I was
able to visit. All the dung from this facility is moved into a massive tank,
(this is the biggest cow dung collection point I have come across!! It is
heaven for a biogas gig!). The dungs needs to be converted to Electricity.

I will focus on the assessment for biogas, however, I do not much experience
with these larger biogas systems. Are you in position to advise? Your
experience will be fantastic. Let me know what you think.

I am off for now, I will be back.

Kind regards
