PROJECT: BIODIGESTER CONSTRUCTION

WHAT IS THE BIODIGESTER?

The biodigester is a technology that generates biogas from animal manure and the decomposition of organic matter. It is composed of three parts: Cargo Box, Fermentation Tank, where the Biogas Storage Chamber, and Discharge Box. Bovine, swine, goat and/or poultry excreta, organic waste, are placed in the Cargo Box. Mixed with water, which supplies the Fermentation Tank where it is produced And stored the biogas. In the Discharge Box, a liquid product that Is the biofertilizer, which mixed with water can be used in the plantation as fertilizer Leaf. It also produces compost, tanned manure, which can be put into the soil to improve your fertility. With the use of this technology, the cooking activity becomes easier With the biogas generated by the biodigester, all the gas needed to prepare The foods, Depending on the size of the biodigester and the equipment used, the biogas also Can be used for other purposes such as lighting lamps, drying grain, cleaning Equipment for milking and heating environments, generating considerable savings in the energy bill.

BENEFITS OF THE BIODIGESTER

• It’s good for the environment – The biodigester helps to conserve the environment. With he does not look for firewood in the forest for cooking and the methane gas released by natural decomposition animal manure is no longer released into the atmosphere, as it is burned in the stove. So if you contribute to the reduction of deforestation and the effects of climate change W our planet.
• It’s good for health – Biogas, when burned on the stove, does not smoke as it does With the burning of firewood and charcoal. In this way, it avoids respiratory problems that affect women, children, and elderly people who spend more time at home exposed to smoke. Too There is care for the health of the animals, as the biodigester must be supplied with Your waste. In this way the cleaning of pens and pigsties is permanent and thus decreases Infestations by worms and flies, significantly improving animal health.
• Good for agriculture – The biodigester also produces biofertilizer and manure Tanned, which are natural fertilizers that can increase soil fertility and improve soil fertility. Production and plant health. For these reasons, the biodigester adapted to small rural properties is aSocially just technology because it is aimed at families living in the countryside; It’s Economically viable because its installation cost in relation to the purchase of the material is low, environmentally sustainable because it Prevents deforestation contributes to reducing the emission of greenhouse gases and protect people’s health by eliminating coal smoke and soot as well. How it drastically reduces animal infestations by worms and flies.

General objectives of the project

• Production of Biogas and Biofertilizer through the process of digestion of organic matter.
• Promote the practice of agriculture with the production of natural fertilizer resulting from the transformation of organic matter.
• Training of producers in communities.

Specific

• Meeting the food needs of the population in the rural area.
• Ensure that rural communities have access to energy (Biogás) for domestic use.
• Ensure food safety.
• Contribution to the conservation of the Environment.

Mission:
Guarantee access to Energy (Biogas) and qualitative production of products that can meet the food needs of the population through the use of Biofertilizers in agriculture and promote self-employment, through sustainable production and reducing food insecurity.

Vision:
To be a reference project in Mozambique, with regard to the construction of Biodigesters and the sale of Biofertilizers for use in agriculture and the production of agricultural products, free of pesticides, in the provision of decent services to the population.

Values:

• Efficiency and efficacy
• Promise and commitment
• Guaranteed sustainability
