    The document provides a design overview of the Philippine BioDigester system. 1. The system uses a flexible bladder design that allows for continuous or plug flow digestion. 2. It is a small, compact, and inexpensive system as the separate digester fully utilizes its volume for high gas yield using less materials than traditional designs. 3. The exposed digester liquids are minimized, keeping the system clean and sanitary compared to designs with multiple compartments.

    Design Overview: Philippine BioDigester

    by: Gerardo P. Baron, December 2004, (Tarlac City, Philippines)


    Fill Hole also functions as a vapor seal and as an expansion port. Check Valve (Optional) 1

    BIOGAS
    60-70% Methane

    DIGESTER

    BLADDER

    Valve 1 may be used as an overflow outlet. Valve 2 may be used to drain effluent and sediments.

    Water Traps installed at lowest sections in piping also function as relief valves.

    Design Highlights:
    1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Flexible: May be used alternately for continuous flow (valve 1 open) or plug flow digestion (valve 2 open as needed.) Small, Compact & Inexpensive: Separate digester allows full use of its contents for digestion; results in high gas yield versus digester volume; and, costs less. Clean & Sanitary: Exposed digester liquids are kept at minimum compared to digesters with telescoping compartments. Versatile: By raising the top section of the bladder, a suction (vacuum) effect may be created to extract gas. Conversely, by pressing down or applying weight on the top of the bladder, gas pressure is increased or adjusted. Simple & Functional: Containers like 55-gallon metal or plastic drums can be easily made into digesters with just minor modifications. Bladder (under test) is made of inexpensive tarpaulin which is tougher, more durable and safer than PE used for TPED or PBD. It is sealed and shaped like an inflatable pillow. Moisture Traps are maintenance free (i.e. overflow when full.) A check valve using a ping-pong ball is being designed. The pillow shaped (oval cross-section) tarpaulin has also been used effectively as a 2 m3 biodigester tank. Same concept was also used to make two 10 m3 digesters and one 10 m3 bladder using 1.5 mm HDPE material. For more information: Email Gerardo P.
