Biogas Plant Design

Yep...............sounds good........don't know about the smell though!!!!!

Would you give away design of the product you are mfg.? No because it is your property so no one will give away his design.

Come on guys, at least ask questions. How big a biogas unit do you need, are you making bio-gas from a campers output,a house, farm, city??

Almost any bio-gas setup will work, its hard to stop mother nature. The main thing is you want your digester to be kept around 95f. This is the temp methane producing microbes thrive at.

Fill a tank with water, human/animal waste, leaves,food scraps, etc,.

Keep the tank at 95f, and a gas line running out the top of the tank will produce methane gas after a few days. There are lots of ways to capture and use the gas.

A properly balanced mix of animal waste, food scraps, leaves, etc will produce better.

I believe you have to scrub the gas by running it through calcium carbonite or somthing to remove sulfuric acid if you are going to run an internal combustion engine from your gas long term

There are several charts online showing how much methane you get from every pound of poop and other bio-material feedstocks, all the way down to WHICH animals poop causes the most methane production.

There are entire websites devoted to nothing but bio-gas making, for home and industrial scale operations. Just search boi-gas, biogas, make methane, etc.

Many a times we across such questions in this Forum, who would like to part with design of the product?. It is proprietary item and is supposed to be kept as trade secret. You have to pay for such designs. If it is college project then one has to refer to books, internet and other sources himself instead of firing a gun from the shoulder of other persons.

why not just ask us to design it for you too?

or is google too much for you?

this is a discussion site, as the title suggests. you are not asking for a discussion, or asking for help in a non-homework way. you are expected to do you your own homework, and if you are building a biogas plant, you ought to be a process trained person.

seriously. Why do you want to know about biogas plants? are you a lawyer or purchasing agent?

How about a Depends, a tube, and a balloon?

A perfect project for the Skull & Bones Society....

Sometimes language and culture barriers don't allow someone to ask a question suited to our liking. Sometimes there are people who are complete jerks who would take advantage of the good people on this forum. But, wouldn't it be more noble to ignore questions we don't like instead of becoming a jerk ourselves.

Good people on this forum sometimes succumb to giving an elitest posting which is unfortunate as it takes away from friendly, helpful attitude CR5 is known for. CR4 contributors are most generally a little higer quality than society as a whole. It would be nice to keep it that way.

Just my opinion.

Common sense is not elitist; it does not seek to exclude. Ignorance on the other hand, is elitist, and dangerously viral. It must be identified as soon as it occurs, lest it decimate the population. By ignorance, I do not mean "lack of education", but I do mean the pride that may come with that lack.

People do learn things at CR4. I learn things at CR4. I do not think CR4 is my primary technical education though, so I would never ask "Please teach me an entire subject"

There is absolutely no misunderstanding or miscommunication in what the OP asked. If the OP did not have an education, and humbly wanted one, then it would be honest to state that, and I'm sure a wealth of provison would pour forth from CR4. That also is not the function of CR4.

On the other hand, if a person superficially learns of technical things, and then proceeds to think that they know the subject, and people are harmed, or loss is incurred, then the people of CR4 have done a disservice. There is a reason that technical training instutitions are certified by governments to deliver knowledge. The ethics and integrity adhered to by governing bodies of registered engineers is very clear about the roles and responsibilities of engineers. It is not something to be taken lightly.

If the OP had said, teach me everything about weapons or explosives, would you have the same response? Knowledge is power. With that knowledge comes responsibility.

Dear Lynlynch,

First of all I want to thanks for your help and information that you provide me.

Dear Randyl,

I'm not agreed with your comments.

Dear All,

Your comments are not according to the topic.

So i advice you that if I don't know how to ask a question than you may continue from you side and advice me But don't comment like all these fake. Because when you don't now about asked thing "So it is better to shut up your mouth"

Sorry 4 this Misbehave, but i have to

Regard's

The onus is on you to clarify your request, and to answer questions if they are asked of you. (so I don't plan on 'shutting up')

Let us start over. Please answer questions as best you can

• What is your purpose and application?
  Who is to benefit from this comprehensive information you are asking for?
  Who will be in danger if an unqualified person builds a biogas plant based on the result of these discussions?
  Are you aware that this is not a certified learning institution?

I'm glad that you have returned. Please just be forthcoming with your answers, and I'm sure we will get you figured out, one way or another.

Please send me a private message (PM) on the cr4 mail system, and include your email address on there, so I can send you some pdf files.

I thought you were talking about bio fuel and ethanol. Now I see the scale and type of project, and I understand why you were offended. and I was imagining something with a lot more pressure vessels and pipes and valves etc.

I don't know if you have ever heard of the Appropriate Technology Library, but there is a wealth of technologies that are implementable by small groups or individuals, in energy and many other areas.

http://www.villageearth.org/pages/Appropriate_Technology/ATSourcebook/Energybiogas.php

there are 4 or 5 docs for biogas, along with hundreds of other docs... a great investment if this is what you are into.

Dear Chrisg288,

Thank you very much for taking so much interest in my post.

I excuse if you feel that my attitude is wrong or insulting.

Sorry once again.
