DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF BIOGAS DIGESTER WITH SINGLE BURNER

Overview Project

Biodigester was designed and constructed with a single cooking burner using locally sourced materials. Water hyacinth and cattle rumen were used as the substrate. Ologbo River in Edo State was visited for the collection of water hyacinth. Intestinal waste was collected from Ikpoba Hill abattoir. Water hyacinth was pulverized and mixed with content from cattle rumen and subsequently fed into the biodigester and could undergo anaerobic digestion.
