A parts list and schematic drawing listed in sequence of appearance in the videos would be great too. This video is so important to the survival of all those watching in this era of what I can only describe as the apocalypse; and I'm not even religious. Maybe after it all ends (if ever) I'll be more of a spiritual person than I currently am. Well done on creating this project, putting it together, and video-ing how you did it for all of us to follow. Well done. Graham from Queensland (Wide Bay region) Australia. I've screenshot every stage as a guide for myself. Now to hunt down materials and start on this biogas project myself.
This is a survival project (as is everything we're doing here on our recently purchased prepper farm. It was set up by previous owners, so we're ahead in terms of solar power, water (rain/river), orchards ). Again thanks, and well done from those watching in this era of what I can only describe as the apocalypse; and I'm not even religious. Maybe after it all ends (if ever) I'll be more of a spiritual person than I currently am. Well done on creating this project, putting it together, and video-ing how you did it for all of us to follow. Well done. Graham from Queensland (Wide Bay region) Australia. I hope you can create a Bio-gas Project IV video for us. G
Nicely done with the filter setup! I use the same equipment but slightly different redesign with my saltwater aquariums. Your fuel production area is also very clean looking also. I haven't heard or read any comments from those of you who produce biogas and use any various digester bags. My concern and questions are the durability, life cycle, and UV exposures to these bags prior to compressing the gas into a steel tanks.
The idea is a six-stage scrub system; 1) H2O to remove CO2 2) Silica Gel to remove H2O 3) Steel Wool to remove H2S 4) NaOH solution to remove Sulfer (from the wool) and CO2 5) Silica Gel to remove H20 (from #4) 6) Activated Carbon to remove final trace CO2 & H2S These steps should increase CH4 concentration from 43% to 55% (15% power increase).
Dzień dobry, bardzo rozbudowana technologia filtracji, śledzę temat biogazu od jakiego czasu i zazwyczaj proponują H2O, Steel Wool i węgiel aktywny. (In Polish)
@@winterca Naturally, a 'lil Google search will help with definitions and applications. Silica Gel is often found in places to absorb moisture; new clothes, beef jerky, etc... NaOH is Sodium Hydroxide (used in drain cleaners) which will adjust the pH of a solution.
I know a guy that actually took the jack on that trailer like you showed that he put it on the side of the actual Steel right there going to the front on the angle and it flips up out of the way
Especially for newbies like me, and I'm pretty handy with tools and making stuff. That's the easy bit. But knowing why it is or isn't working will be the test.
I didn't see what you put in the filters. Also, how are you stopping the gas from escaping the inlet pipe and the excess water pipe? This design is the best one I've seen on RU-vid.
The first filterhousing is filled 3/4 filled with water the second is filled full with wood pellets and the third is filled with steelwoll. The white pvc pipe fits hard into the filterhousing head and sealed perfect without glue or an o-ring so the inlet is at the lowest point of the filterhousing and the gas have to go al the way to the outlet up in the filterhousing. by using this filterhousing the gas flow is against the folw that the arrow shows on the housing.
It is not be a problem to compress the gas with a air compressor into a propane tank by connecting the biogas tank to the airfilter inlet from the compressor the only thing is you should remove the valve of the propanetank and fill the tank with water first than drain it (to make sure there is no more propane in the tank and than put the valve back on the tank) you dont want side effects from the propane in your biogas. And I always make sure the is a little biogas leftover in the propanetank never empty the tanks complete. And if i use used propane tanks after I flushed them i suck out the air with the compressor first to get a vacuum in the tank bevor i fill them with biogas to have always the same quality of biogas in the tanks with out having a biogas / air mix and the side effects of it ( so the biogas quality is higher and the generator starts better) if you dont do that you have at +- 100psi one part air and 5 parts biogas in the tank and no 100% biogas that comes out of the digester.
and about your other question at your e-mail the fill level from the material and the liquide in the digester seals the digester automaticly so you dont have to seal them inlet and outlet extra. the only thing i would do i would put a lid on the inlet funel to get rid of the smell if you dont like it but only lose not tight you dont want create unwanted pressure in a part of the system.
Love these 3 videos (Biogas Project) I have some questions to ask. I’ll post each separately and numbered as there’s a character limit on comments. I'm sure others will be hoping to have these queries followed up. Hope you can follow-up with Biogas Project 4 to address. Great project. Thankyou, you've helped thousands survive if they follow through and build.
🙋♂I great videos ! But I got a question! The filter housings. The link sent me to 3/8 inch inlet and outlet filter housing. It doesn't look right to me , looks like you used a bigger diameter than that for the inlet and outlet of filter, the pvc connecting them looked 1/2 at least.. mind letting me know ? I'd greatly appreciate it. It will save me some time swearing at the hardware store😅
1. Can you supply a video explaining how it works pls? I'm curious how the liquid fertiliser is pushed up the tube inside the digester tank, the 2" pipe which has a hole cut through it. ?? Can you supply a video showing it in action, the level inside the digester, how much kitchen waste, grass, leaves to add daily/weekly? How much fertiliser liquid waste produced weekly? How much gas produced daily/weekly? How much water added with each addition of kitchen waste, clippings, leaves etc? Can you show how you transfer the gas from bladder to tank, or direct to kitchen stove or HWS or gas heater...pls? I know it's a lot to ask, but this will give us an idea of what it should be doing once built, and how to operate it.
Thank god the 'engineer' passed it after inspection, always nerve wracking when they turn up on site :-P Great work and a great setup. Would be great to see if the gas could be used to power a small generator for use as a stop-gap backup or power system top-up for low sun/wind spells.
@@dsfarmns2823 I completely understand, thank you for taking the time to put these online as I know how busy farm life can be. Your videos are so good I have subscribed
In the picture it shows things in the filter casings but you don't talk about what you put in there to "filter" your biogas. Can you share about that???
@@dsfarmns2823 So either Steel wool and wood pellets OR cat litter and water? Can you be more specific with the amounts and how often to replace with new materials in your filters? Can you tell me what are the ingredients in the cat litter? Thank you so much!
I am concerned person to the climate change and want to do my part in a mechanisms of reducing deforestation . even if , I am beginner of Biogas technology , It is feasible to introduce it for my society w/c is not familiar so far . Every thing is understandable in this vidio except in identifying the chemicals cpds being used in z filtration of methane gas . many thanks .
Hi, how are you but I can't say I am so successful as you. I have been trying out to make biodigester gas with no luck. I have one question What is the amount of food per day that should be fed to the digestor per day? If it's a 55 gallon tank Thank you, and I will wait for the response
You may use epsom salt (sold in stores as magnesium sulphate heptahydrate) that is7 water molecules attached. Heating in the oven for 2 hours at 450 degrees Fahrenheit will make it loose those 7 water molecules. Which makes it relatively easy to make powerful desiccant, and to regenerate it latter
Sir very good work ..,... But i have a question.... Kindly guide me ...... What do you use in the filters to purify the gas ...... And how long the stuff you put in the filters last ....?????plz guide me ....
1.Water 2. Wood pellets ( Cat litter) 3. Steel wool. It s all depense ho much gas you produce. You can see it if you look closer to the filters, the water turns the color , the pellet swell and turn back to saw dust and the steelwool rost and fall together.
I cant tell you what you should do, I can only tell you what I would do. A gas freezer works with propane comes in bottels with presure not high pressure but with pressure. Depense how you build your system there is mostly no or verry low pressure => the nozzel at the freezer is to small I would make the hole in the nozzel bigger to get the same flame size than with propane. Be always carefull biogas is a burnable gas and can explode. And better one more valve to shut off then one not enought.
Hi Graham ,Where just building one currently hope this helps .The first filter is a bubbler through water to remove co2 ,change water perodically has it will have turned into a carbonic acid .2 stage is to remove moisture in the gas catlitter or some other absorbant .3 rd stage is the use of wire wool to remove the hydrogen sulphide this makes the methane gas safer with less impurities.
@@dsfarmns2823 Fantastic. I wondered how you fit it all in. I grew up on a nursery, a large plant farm. It's always busy. Days never long enough. Thanks for making time to show all this to the rest of us.
I'm in sri lanka.we have big crisis in here. Can you get me to your country i like to join your farm as a helper.i can work hard.i don't want a big salary.i only want small salary, accommodation and meals.can you?
You're putting on your Teflon aspects you're supposed to roll that plastic ring in the opposite direction so it pulls a tight on the threads you actually contact the plastic ring of the tape to the threads and roll it in reverse of the way you would normally pull tape second you're putting too much on and you should have used pipe dope on top of that tape if you're working with gas
Think about maybe the optic of the camera shows it wrong or mirrored (sometimes the are videos with letters you need to read right to left not left to right ) but I am sure I do it the right thats what I learnd over 30 years ago but i should check you are right.
