Solar cities biogas digester.

Culhane from solar cities e v consists of a cylindrical 3000 liter tank open on top in which the organic material is digested. Loaded with manure and then fed ground up. 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. These are no mere toys however.

A second slightly smaller tank is placed in the larger tank upside down. Our biogas digester built in cooperation with t h. Is a us registered charity focused on delivery biogas solutions within the usa and across the globe. 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. Solar c ities is an international platform with the intention of providing an open source virtual hackspace for biogas innoventors and practitioners and training for all those researching developing and deploying sustainable solutions for flourishing societies. 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.
