Biogas

National Standards for Grades 8-14

Recirculating Aquaculture Systems discharge effluent on a daily basis and the effluent has been shown to be a potential source for biogas production. This kit can help demonstrate how biogas is produced, but using an alternative source of manure. The user should not substitute aquaculture effluent with the supplied manure source for demonstration purposes.

Biogas is now used to power engines, generate electricity, cook food, and heat homes. Create your own bio-renewable energy using readily available organic waste materials. This basic tool allows students to explore and investigate the biogas generation process. Simply vary the biomass source and/or digestion temperature and you have a variety of comparative experiments to analyze. This kit features a biogas digester, a one gallon biogas collection bag, all necessary fittings and tubing, a check valve, a combustion nozzle assembly, and safety equipment for one person (goggles, gloves, and apron). Anticipate gas production within one to four weeks using 1/2 gallon of antibiotic-free manure in chlorine-free water when kept at 80-100˚F.

This is an individual kit with items for a single person.
