[Digestion] Digestion Digest, Vol 20, Issue 1 Solid Waste - Experimental Manure Digesters

Mon Feb 4 05:48:53 CST 2008

Greetings,

A brief description of the Nisargruna plant in Mumbai is available at:
http://www.barc.ernet.in/webpages/letter/2004/200408-8.pdf

I have visited Dr Kale at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Mumbai and the 
system seems very effective. It is a two stage digester with a solar heated 
aerobic digester as the first stage. The main second stage digester uses 
the standard KVIC floating drum design. The two stages break down food 
wastes fairly quickly and thoroughly. I had an MSc student who looked at 
the technical, social and economic feasibility of the system and the 
results of his analysis were very positive.

There are some pictures on: http://www.green-ensys.org/site/Biogas_Plant.html.

BARC are commercialising the system and prepared to sell licenses to 
interested parties.

Cheers,

David F
