Biogas Transportation Technique by Drip Lateral Pipeline
Description of Technology
The farmer has tried to transport the biogas at about 700 feet
from the cattle shed to kitchen by use of drip irrigation pipeline
of 16 mm diameter as no land is available near the house to
install the biogas plant. As power failure at critical stages of
irrigation to crops was a big problem, biogas was also tried as an
alternative to electricity for irrigation of crops.
Achievements
Experience of the farmer in long distance transport has been
adopted by many farmers in village Tandulwadi and adjacent
villages.
