The theme of the popular Western Cape Agricultural show this year was "Change for Sustainability" demonstrating the new willingness of the agricultural industry to embrace the low impact farming practices discerning consumers demand both in South Africa and abroad. Of course our biogas digesters had to be there to show farmers that they don't have to spend a fortune to turn their waste into a valuable resource. 

Our BiogasPro digesters feature at world class agricultural show in the Free State. The BiogasPro can turn animal manure and crop waste into useful energy and organic fertiliser so it is ideal for use in farmhouses and farm labourer's dwellings managing waste, saving electricity and irrigating vegetable gardens with nutrient rich water.

We have been very fortunate to have had three UCT students with us over the 2011 - 2012 year end period.  We all had a lot of fun! Here's a quick tribute to them and the work they did so well ...

Lovely description of a hands-on approach to household biogas ... Innovation and inspiration meet in a farmer's approach to biogas, where the ansers to the technical issues "just sort of came to him". enjoy!!

This is the trickiest part of operating your BiogasPro or SmartTop biogas digester. There's a short period of time between priming (meaning, loading the new digester with a substrate containing anaerobic bacteria such as cow manure) and having clean biogas on tap.  Thereafter, our systems are really easy to use and this priming process will not need to be repeated - if the basic guidelines for priming and operating are followed.

Over the period November 2011 - January 2012, we approached twenty of our customers in and around Cape Town to participate in a survey relating to how well their digester is working.  These are the results ...

OK, so we know that biogas digesters produce biogas. But how?  And what are the design, operating and feeding parameters that determine how well it works? 

First BiogasPro and SmartTop digesters come on line in this amazing project ...

Even though biogas has such potential in a developing country, like our own, it is a largely unknown technology...

Rwandan prison, not a place you want to find yourself, unless you are a biogas expert.

An article from the BBC describing how Nepal's successes with biogas has marked them as world experts. This experience is now travelling all across the world in the form of biogas experts running workshops and training sessions.

Today was the first workshop for the women at Bonne Esperance.

China are the clear world leaders in biogas technology, and after reading some of this document it is clear why.
