A PILOT PROJECT TO GENERATE BIOGAS USING HUMAN WASTE
The main objective of this project was to use the prisoners' waste to produce biogas that could be used as cooking fuel and cut down the cost incurred in buying of firewood initially used as fuel to cook for the prisoners.
However after completion, the project brought forth multiple benefits namely, treatment of the sewage waste in order to prevent waterborne diseases within the community, production of organic food for fish in the fish ponds, a cleaner environment realised through better sanitation practices thus ensuring that the prisoners do not fall sick as often as before.
The prison has 1,200 inmates and about 300 saffs and it's in the Eastern provinnce of our country Kenya.

I have been following your operations with a lot of interest and you overtook me in thinking. I have asked very similar questions like you in the past. I am now happy that you have already gone this far with the project. I started a small biogas in a secondary school here in Cameroon and stopped the design because the school administration never believed me. Now that I have your work as a point of reference; that may change the way these guys think. First I am working hard to encourage all the civil society in Cameroon to vote your project in the world challenge 2009. Instead of trying to re-invent the wheels, we will like our organization to partner with your company to carry out such projects in Cameroon.
ReplyDeletePlease let us know how you think about such a partnership and collaboration.
The most common biogas plants used in developing countries are small household based fixed dome models. They are cheap to build and can be constructed by using materials available locally like Domestic Biogas Plant, Institutional Biogas Plant. The three principle products of anaerobic digestion are biogas, digestate and water.
