| Hello. Welcome to this spoken tutorial on Material required to construct a '''biogas plant'''  

| In this tutorial, we will learn about the various materials required to construct a '''biogas plant'''

| Area required to construct the plant

|The Site, No. of days required for construction and the best time to construct the plant  

| Let us begin. The materials required to construct a '''biogas plant''' can be procured from any hardware & cement shop.  

| Cement 14 packs  

| Gravel – half brass  

| Sand - 1 brass  

| 3 bundles of chicken mesh, 30 feet each  

| Weldmesh sheet of size 3 feet x 4 feet with 1 inch x 1 inch of the hole size  

| 12 feet of 6 mm steel rods, 35kgs

| 1 kg of steel wire to be cut into 7-8 inches per piece

| Bricks 3, 2kg of white cement  

| 1 kg of lime powder  

| Jute gunny bags 25 Approximately

| Plastic sheet- 13 feet x 10 feet and

| 7 Bamboo sticks of approximate size - 3.5 feet  

| Liquid waterproofing material - 1 Litre

| Wooden square trowel with a concave bent from inside  

| These are especially used for smoothening the cement plaster on the dome of the Biogas plant  

| Metal square trowel  

| Shovel

 

| Small trowel,  Hook

| Trough with a capacity of 10 kgs  

| Scissor to cut the chicken mesh  

| One Measuring tape  

| 1kg of Newspaper

| Scale with two hooves at the two ends and

| An Iron rod with hollow ends at the either sides  

| We will now look at other items required to built the plant such as tubes, pipes and valves  

| We required main gas control valve of size 1 inch, metal pipe to be connected from the center of the dome, 30 cms x 1 inch of diameter  

|  This will be the main gas pipe  

| Gas conveyer pipe of 1/2 inch diameter  

| The length of this pipe will depend upon the distance between '''Biogas plant '''and the kitchen  

|Inlet pipe connected from '''Mixing tank''' to '''Digester tank ''' should be 6 inches diameter and approximately 5 feet of length  

| Another outlet pipe of 6 inches diameter to be connected from slurry tank to the slurry collection pit  

| If the outlet pipe is not required  alternately, construct a drain between slurry tank and the slurry collection pit as shown   

| The depth of this slurry collection pit can be between 4 to 6 feet  

|  The slurry collected in this pit can be manually poured in the fields  

| We also required a safety-valve of 1 inch

| 2 Vohj clips are require to secure the pipe.  

| A few other items like  Synthetic Resin Adhesive  250 ml and Teflon tape  

| These are really important for the durability of the '''biogas plant.'''

 

| Let’s now talk about the- Area, Site, No. of days required for construction and best time to construct the plant  

| To construct the '''biogas plant''', we need approximately 12feet X 8 feet of land, near the house.  

| The site should be such that  construction cost is minimized and  it receives ample sunlight to maintain the right temperature inside the '''biogas plant'''.  

| The selected site should also ensure easy operation and maintenance of  Mixing tank, Digester tank, Main gas control valve to switch off gas inflow and the Slurry tank  

| The site should also be located near to the source of animal dung and the toilet.  

| The total no. of days required to complete the civil work of a '''biogas plant '''are 3 to 5 days.  

| The best time of the year to construct the '''biogas plant '''is between November and June.  

| Constructing '''biogas plants''' during the rainy season is best avoided, as it becomes messy.  

| This brings us to the end of this tutorial on the material required to construct a Biogas plant.  

| The construction part of the Biogas plant will be explained in next tutorial under the same series  

| Let’s Summarize

| In this tutorial, we learnt The material required to construct a '''biogas plant'''

| Area required to construct the plant  

| Preferred site and  

| No. of days required along with the  best time to construct the plant
