00:01 | Hello everyone and welcome to this Spoken Tutorial on Assembly of the Biogas plant. |
00:10 | In this tutorial, we will learn how to assemble the following- |
00:16 | digester tank with the dome, |
00:18 | mixing tank and |
00:21 | slurry tank. |
00:23 | Please note that this is an activity of day-3. |
00:30 | Let us start. |
00:32 | Transfer the chicken mesh dome to the actual plant site. |
00:38 | Place the dome on the raised wall of the digester tank. |
00:43 | Once this is done, fix the main gas pipe of 1 inch diameter on the top of the dome. |
00:53 | To do this, hold the pipe with the external thread on the top. |
01:00 | Insert the pipe between the holes of the 3 chicken layer(s) and rotate slightly. |
01:10 | Check if it is firmly placed. |
01:13 | The pipe will be fixed permanently in this position when the outer wall of the dome will be plastered. |
01:24 | Remember: the external thread on the gas pipe will help fit the hose pipe firmly. |
01:33 | Notice the external thread at the top of the gas pipe. |
01:38 | An important thing to be done next is the following- |
01:44 | On the side of the dome, adjacent to where the mixing tank will be placed, |
01:51 | make a firm base. This base should be 4 feet and 5 inches higher than the dome for placing the mixing tank. |
02:06 | Next, on the side of the dome facing the base of the mixing tank, cut chicken mesh. |
02:16 | Use a scissor to cut the mesh and make a hole of 6 inches diameter. |
02:27 | Through this hole, one end of the inlet pipe will be inserted at an angle of 45 degrees. |
02:38 | Rest the other end of the inlet pipe at the base of the mixing tank and plaster it with cement mixture. |
02:52 | Bio-waste will reach the digester tank through this inlet pipe. |
03:00 | This is how the inlet pipe will look like from inside the dome. |
03:09 | Once the gas pipe is fitted, we need to plaster the dome from outside. |
03:18 | An interesting fact is that the dome is plastered twice and both coats of plaster have different ratio of sand and cement. |
03:35 | For first coat of plastering, use the following- |
03:42 | sand- 200 kgs, |
03:45 | cement- 100 kgs, |
03:50 | liquid waterproofing material- 150 ml, thoroughly mixed in 20 liters of water and adequate amount of water. |
04:04 | What you see here is the mason using the first coat of plaster on the dome. |
04:13 | Before entirely plastering the outer wall of the dome, the base of the digester tank has to be plastered for the second time. |
04:27 | Ratio of cement mixture to be used is- |
04:33 | sand -90 kgs, |
04:37 | cement -50 kgs, |
04:42 | liquid waterproofing material- 100 ml, mixed in 15 litres of water and |
04:53 | adequate amount of water as mentioned earlier. |
05:00 | What you see here is the mason adding liquid waterproofing material to the cement mixture. |
05:11 | Remember - the thickness of the layer of the plaster should be about 3 inches only. |
05:22 | Next comes the attaching of the walls of the slurry tank with the dome. |
05:30 | Hole of the slurry tank has to be 6 inches lower than the dome. |
05:38 | This will ensure free flow of slurry into the slurry tank. |
05:47 | Place the slanting wall(s) of the slurry tank at either sides of the entrance to the dome. |
05:58 | With the hook, interlock the excess chicken mesh at the base of the dome and at the edge of the slurry tank wall. |
06:12 | Carefully tighten the chicken mesh securely so as to join the walls to the dome. |
06:23 | To seal the joints, use cement mixture with adequate amount of water. |
06:34 | Apply this mixture carefully so that there are no gaps at all. |
06:44 | Please note that at this point, we have used 3 of the 7 walls for the slurry tank. |
06:57 | The plastered dome should now be left for 6-8 hours for curing. |
07:06 | Leaving the dome for curing, we will now attach the mixing tank. |
07:15 | As mentioned earlier, mixing tank will be placed 4 feet and 5 inches higher than the dome to avoid water logging. |
07:29 | The mixing tank is connected to the digester tank via the inlet pipe. |
07:37 | Before placing, check the hole at the base of the mixing tank. |
07:44 | The hole should be placed just in front of the inlet pipe of 6 inches diameter. |
07:52 | Remember - this inlet pipe of 6 inches diameter has been already inserted inside the dome at an angle of 45 degrees. |
08:08 | For the hole of the mixing tank and the inlet pipe to be in line with each other, do the following- |
08:20 | place three bricks around these two and plaster it with cement. |
08:29 | After plastering, leave it for curing overnight. |
08:35 | This is how it will look in a functional biogas plant. |
08:43 | Now, plaster the entire outer dome wall for the second time and the inner wall of the dome as well. |
08:57 | Prepare the cement mixture as follows- |
09:03 | sand- 180 kgs, |
09:06 | cement- 100 kgs, |
09:11 | liquid waterproofing material 250 ml, mixed in 20 liters of water |
09:21 | and adequate amount of water. |
09:26 | Spread this mixture evenly on the outer wall of the dome |
09:33 | and on the inner wall of the dome as well. |
09:39 | Smoothen out the plaster by using the wooden trowel. |
09:46 | Leave the whole structure for curing for 17 days. |
09:54 | This brings us to the end of day-3. |
10:00 | On day-4, we will do the following- |
10:06 | Dig two rectangular pits adjacent to the side walls of the lower tank. |
10:15 | The dimensions would be 1 foot and 5 inches of length, 1 foot and 5 inches of width and 2 feet of height. |
10:32 | Dig another pit at the front of the lower tank as shown here. |
10:41 | The dimensions would be- 10 inches of length, 28 inches of width and 2 feet of height. |
10:58 | Lay foundation on both the adjacent sides and the front side of the lower tank using gravel, cement and sand mixture. |
11:18 | The gravel, sand and cement is mixed in the same proportion as mentioned previously. |
11:30 | Now, join the four walls of the upper slurry tank. |
11:37 | Plaster the edges of the walls with cement. |
11:45 | The wall with the hole should face the fields. This will help the slurry to flow out smoothly through the hole. |
11:59 | Coming back to the dome, place approximately 25 jute gunny bags on the dome. |
12:11 | Twice a day, start spraying water on the dome. |
12:18 | Spray as much is required to wet the outer wall of the dome. |
12:26 | Jute bags placed on the outer wall help to retain the water. |
12:35 | This will keep the dome wet for longer hours. |
12:43 | Lastly, the entire dome should be covered with the plastic sheet held between 2 - 4 pillars. |
12:56 | This plastic sheet will protect the dome from too much sunlight, thereby avoiding too much drying of the dome. |
13:11 | This brings us to the end of day-4. |
13:17 | On the 15th day of curing- |
13:22 | make a mixture of 2 litres of water, |
13:29 | 250 gms of Synthetic Resin Adhesive and 2kgs of white cement. |
13:41 | Apply this mixture on the inside of the digester tank to seal crack(s), if any. |
13:52 | At this point, the civil work of the biogas plant is completed. |
14:00 | We will now learn to connect the main gas pipe to the kitchen. |
14:07 | Connect the main gas pipe from the digester tank to the main gas control valve, as shown here. |
14:22 | The joint between the main gas pipe and gas control valve should be perfectly air-tight. |
14:35 | Otherwise, gas leakage from this joint cannot be stopped easily. |
14:46 | From the main gas control valve, we have to connect a gas conveyor pipe. |
14:57 | Once again, connect these using a straight joint and ensure it is air-tight. |
15:11 | The gas conveyor pipe extends all the way to the kitchen. |
15:20 | Inside the kitchen, connect the safety valve to the gas conveyor pipe using a straight joint. |
15:33 | Connect another straight joint on the other end of the safety valve. |
15:43 | Make sure that all the joints are air-tight. |
15:50 | Lastly, connect the rubber hose to the stove. |
15:58 | After all the connections are made, the biogas plant is ready for use. |
16:09 | After 17 days of total curing time, raw materials can be put into the biogas plant. |
16:23 | Initial production of biogas will take about 6 days. |
16:31 | After that, it will be a regular daily production. |
16:38 | Now, to check whether biogas has been produced, do the following. |
16:48 | Ensure that both the safety valves are in open position for the gas to be conveyed. |
17:00 | Light the burner and check the flame for production of the biogas. |
17:10 | Another issue is water condensation. So, how can water condensation be avoided? |
17:23 | The gas conveyor pipe from the dome towards the kitchen should be always in an upward direction. |
17:35 | If so, water accumulation inside the conveyor pipe is negligible. |
17:44 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. |
17:50 | Let us Summarize. |
17:54 | In this tutorial, we learnt how to assemble the following. |
18:02 | Digester tank with the dome |
18:06 | mixing tank and |
18:09 | the slurry tank. |
