Biogas Manuals

SKG Sangha has been running biogas extension programmes in Egypt and Mali, although these programmes were started before Foundation SKG Sangha could be registered. The programme in Egypt was funded by UNDP and manuals were provided to assist local extension workers and biogas plant users with the technology. Copies of these manuals are available below, written by Kiran Kumar Kudaravalli, edited to improve the English.

• Educational Manual
• Extension Manual
• Construction Manual
• Users Manual

Two different designs have been used by SKG Sangha in India. The Deenbandhu plant is made of brick, with rows of brick built up into a dome shape. The Suntala plant is made using concrete spread over steel moulds.

Sequences of photographs show the two biogas plant designs being built. Drawings and models for the plants are available as PDF files. These files may need to be downloaded to be viewed in 3D.
