Slide Number 1 Procedure to construct a biogas plant	Hello everyone. Welcome to this spoken tutorial on Material required to construct a biogas plant
Slide Number 2 Learning Objective The various material required to construct a biogas plant Area required to construct the plant Site No. of days required and the best time to construct the plant	In this tutorial, we will learn about The various materials required to construct a biogas plant Area required to build the plant Site No. of days required for construction and the best time to construct the plant
Let us begin	Let us begin.
Slide no. 3 Where to procure the materials from ?	The materials required to construct a biogas plant can be procured from- Any hardware & cement shop.
Slide no. 4 Material required to construct a Biogas plant ?	The following materials are required to construct the plant:
[[Image:]]	Cement 14 packs
[[Image:]]	Gravel - ½ brass
[[Image:]]	Sand - 1 brass
[[Image:]]	3 bundles of chicken mesh, 30 feet each
[[Image:]]	Weldmesh sheet of size 3 ft x 4 ft with 1 inch x 1 inch of the hole size
[[Image:]]	12 ft of 6 mm steel rods- 35 kgs
[[Image:]]	1 kg of steel wire -to be cut into 7-8 inches pieces
[[Image:]]	Bricks- 3
[[Image:]]	2kg of white cement
Image	1 kg of lime powder
[[Image:]]	Jute gunny bags- 25 (approx.)
[[Image:]]	Plastic sheet- 13 feet x 10 feet
[[Image:]]	7 Bamboo sticks of approx. size - 3.5 ft
Image- Liquid waterproofing material Image- Adequate Water	Liquid waterproofing material - 1 Ltr
[[Image:]] [[Image:]]	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
[[Image:]]	Metal square trowel
[[Image:]]	Shovel
[[Image:]]	Small trowel
[[Image:]]	Hook
[[Image:]]	Trough with a capacity of 10 kgs
[[Image:]]	Scissor to cut the chicken mesh
[[Image:]]	Measuring tape -1 no.
[[Image:]]	Newspaper - 1 kg
[[Image:]]	Scale with two hooves at the two ends
[[Image:]]	Iron rod with hollow ends at the either sides
[[Image:]][[Image:]][[Image:]]	We will now look at other items required to construct the plant such as tubes, pipes and valves
[[Image:]]	Main gas control valve of size 1 inch
[[Image:]]	* Metal pipe to be connected from the center of the dome - 30 cms x 1 inch diameter This will be the main gas pipe
[[Image:]]	* Gas conveyer pipe of 1/2 inch diameter The length of this pipe will depend upon- the distance between Biogas plant and the kitchen
[[Image:]]	* Inlet pipe connected from Mixing tank to Digester tank - 6 inches diameter and approx. 5 ft length
[[Image:]]	* Another outlet pipe of 6 inches diameter To be connected from slurry tank to the slurry collection pit ,
[[Image:]]	* If the outlet pipe is not required alternately, construct a drain between slurry tank and the slurry collection pit as shown here The depth of this slurry collection pit can be between 4 to 6 ft The slurry collected in this pit can be manually poured in the fields
[[Image:]]	We also required Safety-valve of size 1 inch
[[Image:]]	* Approximately, 6 mtrs of rubber hose pipe of ½ inch diameter. Club these two images This rubber hose pipe will be used to convey the gas from the safety valve to the kitchen stove.
[[Image:]]	* 2 Vohj clips to secure the pipe.
[[Image:]]	A few other items like- Synthetic Resin Adhesive -250 ml
[[Image:]]	Teflon tape
[[Image:]][[Image:]][[Image:]]	Always use good quality cement, gravel and sand. These are really important for the durability of the biogas plant.
	Let’s now talk about the- Area Site No. of days required for constructions and best time to construct the plant
[[Image:]]	To construct the biogas plant, we need approx. 12ft X 8 ft of land, near the house.
[[Image:]]	The site should be such that- construction cost is minimized and it receives ample sunlight to maintain the right temperature inside the biogas plant.
[[Image:]][[Image:]]	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 Slurry tank
	The site should also be located near to the source of animal dung and the toilet. This will help to easily operate the plant and avoid wastage of raw materials.
[[Image:]]	The total no. of days required to complete the civil work of a biogas plant are 3 - 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 about The material required to construct a biogas plant Area required to construct the plant Preferred site and No. of days required and best time to construct the plant	Let’s Summarize- In this tutorial, we will learn about The material required to construct a biogas plant Area required to construct the plant Preferred site and No. of days required and best time to construct the plant
