Suitable conditions

Advantages Disadvantages
- Makes good use of organic wastes. You can obtain fuel from sewage sludge and animal slurries first, and prevent runoff and methane emissions at the same time – and you still get fertiliser at the end of the process.

- Is a clean, easily controlled source of renewable energy.
- Uses up methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.
- Reduces pathogen (disease agent) levels in the waste.
- Residue provides valuable organic fertilizer.
- Simple to build and operate.
- Low maintenance requirements.
- Can be efficiently used to run cooking, heating, gas lighting, absorption refrigerators and gas powered engines.
- No smell (unless there’s a leak, which you’d want fix immediately).

- Most practical to be generated and used at the source of the waste. This is because the energy needed to compress the gas for transport, or convert it into electricity is excessive, reducing the efficiency of biogas energy production.

- For safety, basic precautions must be adhered to.

  • Video: Biogas Driven Irrigation Pump. The diesel pump has been converted to a Biogas driven pump by the farmer, Purushottambhai Patel. Purushottambhai is from Shekhadi village in Petlad Taluka, Anand District (Gujarat). English subtitles.
  • Video: Efficient Biogas digesters built by Wasandi BioSolar Company. Wasandi Biosolar (Pvt) Ltd makes Biogas digesters, and has worked for the last few years on making effiecient Biogas digesters. This type of digester is much cheaper to build, lasts longer, easier to repair, gives more gas, and can be built in 2 to 3 days at any place. We gaurantee our digesters for ten years, but our digesters will be good and working for more then 30 to 40 years. Biogas is the cleanest fuel available. If you are intrested in getting Biogas for your home or village, we can make a digester of any size. For details visit our web site: www.wasandi.com
