Biogas is a gas that constitutes a combination of methane and carbon monoxide, among other gases. It is produced during anaerobic digestion of organic substrates, such as manure, sewage sludge, the organic fractions of household and industry waste, and energy crops. This article covers the benefits and the uses of biogas

Box 15509-00503, Mbagathi, Nairobi-Kenya Corresponding Author Email: wanjohi@kenpro.org Abstract According to FAO data from 2017, over 2.4 billion people rely on wood for cooking. The use of wood and charcoal contributes to greenhouse gas emissions while also contributing to deforestation […]
Construction of any part or structure is the joining of many sub-parts into one main structure. In a biogas plant, construction is the most critical part of the making of a project because it entails the actualization of the idea to be a tangible project. Biogas plant construction is comprised of many activities, all interlinked into one major activity. This section covers the following areas: Biogas construction considerations, biogas plant construction materials, and biogas key construction parameters.
This article aims to take a look at the process of constructing a dome and expansion chamber. The step by step guideline has been instrumental in the construction of a reliable and production efficient plant. The guide takes the following approach, starting with dome construction which involves fixing of a gas pipe, building of the dome, closing of the dome and plastering the dome. Lastly, the article offers a guide on how to make a good and long lasting expansion chamber
This article takes a look at the processes undertaken in the final works on the biogas plant. These tasks include fabrication of manholes, installing biogas appliances, setting up a testing unit chamber, and checking for leaks.
Troubleshooting is the systematic approach to solving a problem. It mainly deals with tracing and correcting faults in a mechanical or an electronic system. Troubleshooting is done when dealing with biogas output from anaerobic digestion systems. For this reason, troubleshooting is absolutely necessary, particularly in the event of a meltdown or a failure.
