Biogas demonstration



Terry has recently built another biogas generator and placed it near the area where they kill animals each day for sale of the meat in town. The generator consists of three metal barrels welded together to form one long barrel. He placed a pipe on it so it is easier to fill and then filled with water and manure. It hasn't begun to make gas very well yet so we ask you to pr-y for it to produce gas. This is an area where many people will see it and our pr-yer is for people to want to learn more, about not only biogas, but the reason we have come to Kondoa. It will be in this place during the time we are stateside and then when we return in October we will see where it leads.



They are attaching a pipe (not a stove pipe although it looks like one) to pour the manure and water into the barrels.



Setting the barrels on rocks with pieces of inner tube as protection.



Here Terry and two men who were working nearby set the three barrels up. This is on the river bank so it give a good gentle slope to the barrels.




Terry fills the barrels with manure, this makes the gas to cook with-thus Biogas!
