12.2.The ARTI Compact Biogas System used in Tanzania <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> Ug<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>a .<br />

The ARTI (Figure 58.) Compact biogas system (CBS) is made from two cutdown<br />

st<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>ard high density polyethylene (HDPE) water tanks <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> st<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>ard<br />

plumber piping. The larger tank acts as the digester while the smaller <strong>on</strong>e is<br />

inverted <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> telescoped in to the digester <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> serves as a floating gas holder,<br />

which raises proporti<strong>on</strong>al to the produced gas <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> acts as a store room of the<br />

biogas. The CBS is designed for treating 1-2kg (dry weight) of kitchen <strong>waste</strong> per<br />

day. The gas can directly be used for cooking <strong>on</strong> an adjustable gas stove<br />

whereas the liquid effluent can be applied as nutrient fertilizer in the garden.<br />

Space of about 2 m 2 <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> 2.5 m height is needed for a CBS of 1000l.( Riuji., 2009)
