Question 1

What is Biogas?

Accepted Answer

Biogas is a renewable form of energy that is produced through the breakdown of organic matter by bacteria in the absence of Oxygen, a process known as anaerobic digestion. It is primarily composed of Methane (CH4) 60% and Carbon Dioxide (CO2), along with trace amounts of other gases such as Nitrogen, Hydrogen Sulfide, and water vapor.
Biogas is a flammable gas that creates a blue flame when burned.
One of the significant advantages of Biogas is its renewable nature. It is produced from organic waste materials that would otherwise decompose and release Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.

Question 2

What is the process by which Biogas is created?

Accepted Answer

Biogas is created through a natural biological process called anaerobic digestion. The process involves the breakdown of organic materials in the absence of Oxygen by a consortium of microorganisms, primarily bacteria, in an Oxygen-free environment such as a Biogas plant or digester.

Question 3

Can one person assemble the Biodigester?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Biodigester is designed as a DIY product to be assemble by one or two people. Every system comes with a detailed manual that explains every step of the assembly. 
Same thing about the assembly of the BioWC, its a one person job but always better to do it together.

Question 4

What does it mean to activate the Biodigester?

Accepted Answer

Activating the Biodigester refers to the initial startup process of a Biodigester, where the necessary microorganisms and conditions are established to initiate the anaerobic digestion process. The activation stage is crucial for establishing a healthy and productive system.
By using fresh herbivore’s manure (cow, horse, pig etc...) we let in the productive microorganisms to the Biodigester and by that start the process of A proliferation of  beneficial bacteria. We recommend using cow manure for the fast results .

The activation in 4 easy steps:
1) Fill the Biodigester with water until they go out from the fertilizer outlet.
2) Wait 24 hours and check if there are any leaks.
3) Add the fresh slurry (manure mixed with water) in the right amount as explained in the manual.
4) Wait for 1-3 weeks for the process to complete.

In order for the process to be carried out correctly, it must be carried out when it is at least 25°C (77°F).

Question 5

Is cooking on Biogas safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, cooking on biogas is safe when proper precautions are taken. Biogas is commonly used for cooking purposes in many households and communities around the world.
Biogas burns cleanly and efficiently when used in well-designed and properly maintained cooking appliances.

Question 6

Can the biodigester explode due to biogas?

Accepted Answer

Low Risk of Explosions: Biogas is typically composed of Methane and Carbon Dioxide, with Methane being the primary component. At the moment Methane is exposed to air he loses its ability to ignite because of his light weight . Also unlike other flammable gases such as Propane or Butane, Biogas has a higher ignition point, making it less prone to accidental explosions. 
However, it's always essential to handle and use Biogas with caution.
