Features: Biogas is a treasure, waste can be burned. Building biogas in rural areas leads to prosperity; the whole nation engaging in biogas improves the ecological environment! Biogas is a flammable gas that is not hard to find in our surrounding environment. We often see bubbles gurgling on the surface of dead ponds, foul ditches, and manure pits, with more bubbles rising as the temperature increases. The gas in these bubbles is biogas. This book systematically introduces practical biogas technologies for rural use. The main contents include: basic conditions for biogas production; the basic structures and models of household biogas digesters in China and abroad; design, construction, and operation techniques for household biogas digesters; measures to repair sick digesters and improve gas production; auxiliary equipment, comprehensive utilization, and safe use, as well as selected design drawings from the newly issued national standard "User Biogas Standard Atlas" (GB/T4750-2002). This revised edition focuses on the construction techniques of household biogas digesters and new technologies for the comprehensive utilization of "Three Biogas Products" (biogas, biogas slurry, and biogas residue). The book is easy to understand, combines text with illustrations, and is convenient for self-study. It can serve as a learning and reference material for rural biogas technicians and also as a training textbook for biogas technology.
