Assembling of biodigester

Cut 2 holes into the seal-able drums lid one is the size of the PVC pipe and one the size of the plastic tubing place them at opposite ends of the lid cut out the bottom of the PVC pipe so the only have two remains

like this

Sealed the container and place the PVC pipe into at hole. This’ll be where you insert  the digester feed stock.

 Remove anything around rim of small fifty-gallon drum

This tank holds the gas

Capturing it between its roof in water

Cut two holes into the bottom of the forty gallon drums same as rubber tube

One whole will connect the seals great container

cut the tubing into 2 section 1 will connect the sealed container with the other drum.

And the 1 will let gas out.

Insert the shorter piece of tube in to the upside-down drum

3:59

Any other section of the other bottom so that goes down the full length of the drum

The other end of this tube connect to the sealed container

Attach the valve to gas release hose so the gas will escape. Then seal all connection

Each tube or pipe needs to be air tight.

Wait for these connections to dry. Fill the unused fifty-gallon drum water about two-thirds

Place the gas container upside down into the water and now digester has complete

Feedstock goes into the white pipe which produces methane gas (biogas) trapped in blue container
