COMMON ACCIDENT WITH BIOGAS DIGESTERS

JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER DEVICES THE SAFTY OF THE USER IS VERY IMPORTANT,
Apart from toxic piosons that could be produce by the digester if adequuate messure are not taken the the digester can even explode(metaldrums) causing serious damages if is not proffessionally constructed or been loaded beyond its capacity this could post dangerous health problems. So we have to follow simple fomula e.g : These wastes are collected and loaded into the drums, making up two-thirds of the loaded drum. After which, the animal manure and water are mixed into the container. The drum is then compressed with a concrete hollow block, which serves as weight on top of the mixture. The drum is sealed and left for several days to digest and ferment.

Gas was discharged from the collectors after 14 days. On the 15th day, a burner may be attached for the initial flame test. It is advised not to conduct flame test directly from the gas collectors’ nozzle to avoid accident. A secondary hose must be inserted from the gas collector’s nozzle onto the burner before conducting flame test.
