Solar Cities Biogas Digester

Working with local partners to ensure the knowledge stays locally we share best practices through our commitment to educating our partners on how to deliver capacity building biogas systems.

Solar cities biogas digester.

It is the missing piece of the sustainability puzzle. It is the solar plexus of sustainability the literal guts of any system that tries to reduce reuse recycle and thrive. Culhane from solar cities e v consists of a cylindrical 3000 liter tank open on top in which the organic material is digested. These are no mere toys however.

Culhane designed and innovated this hdpe plastic idb tote 3 tank water displacement pressurized biogas system henceforth known as the solar cities biodigestor system in cairo egypt and built the first one working with solar cities associates hanna fathy and mike rimoin and students from the sekem environmental science center in october 2009 after many experiments on his own. Loaded with manure and then fed ground up. Solar cities has innovated a way of teaching biogas principles using paint buckets. Biogas is like natural gas they are methane ch4 gas but biogas contain about 30 40 of co2 depending on the substrates and small amount of h2s simple treatment can help to get rid of h2s and the gas can be use for many applications cooking is the most common usage for small scall biogas digester lighting and heating are also possible.

Our biogas digester built in cooperation with t h. At solar cities we put home and community scale biogas at the center of our sustainable development efforts. This is the center section of our tutorial enabling anybody anywhere anywhen to build their own effective biogas system the solar cities way.
