2. One way farm families can make their lives better is to make their own fuel gas which they can use cooking.

3. Today many farmers are making fuel gas at home. They make it from animal manure or from plant materials or from a mixture of both.

4. Fuel gas made in this way has a lot of methane in it Methane burns very well.

15. You must be sure that bui ing a biog unit will be a good way to use your time· and money.

16. You will need a good place to put your biogas unit Items 26 to 30 will tell you where to put it

17. If you live where it is too hot or too cold, your may find it hard to keep a biogas unit working.

18. Biogas is at a temperature

and 37°C. When the temperature is below 15°C almost no gas is made. Items 31 to 34 will tell you some ways which will help you to keep your biogas unit at the right temperature.

22. Begin by building a small unit Items 35 to 57 will tell you how. With a small biogas unit, you will need less animal manure and plant materials.

small unit will cost less to build and it will be easier to run.

at least 1 0 metres rubber or plastic tube

26. Be careful not to put your biogas unit too close to your home or your cooking area or your water supply.

A biogas unit should be at least 1 metres from your home so that when you put waste into your unit it will not be too close to where you and your family live and cook your meals.

28. Do not put your biogas unit too far from ere you cook or you will need a long gas line. Gas lines are hard to find and may cost a lot of money.

29. If your gas line is moved or damaged, it may leak when gas is mad If your gas line crosses a path, bury it a little underground to protect it ·from being moved or damaged.

30. A biogas unit should be at least 15 111'11'11£111,rlll'lll:ll!l<l!i::!

31. u have al been told that you will get most gas if the temperatu ur unit is between 32 and 37°C.

32. If you live in a very hot place, put your unit out of the sun, in the shade or under trees to keep it from getting too hot.

61. When you first begin, it is best to use only animal manure or a mixture of animal manure and little plant material. Later when you have learned more about how your as unit works, you can use more plant materials.

62. When you do begin to use plant materials, remember that dry plant materials must be chopped or shredded very fine and fresh plant materials must be left outside to rot for 10 days or more before you put them into a biogas unit.

84. It may take up to or even a month for the waste in your biogas unit to start making gas. After that, gas will be made for about eight weeks.

85. During these eight weeks, half of the gas will be made in the first two or three weeks and the rest in the last five or six weeks.

86. If you find that not much gas is being made in the last weeks, empty the unit and start again.

92. If the waste is well mixed before it is put into the unit, there will be less chance for scum to form and your biogas unit wm make gas well.

93. If you use plant materials, scum is more likely to form than if you use only animal manure. You will need to stir the waste mixture in your biogas unit from time to time.
