I have looked thru' various topics on this site, has anybody seen anything relating to DIY bio-gas in UK?
There are loads of sites, mostly foreign, showing completed projects or vaguely running thru' construction of such projects for biogas chambers to make gas which you can then use for home, heating or cooking . I have never come across a site as yet that carries out a project from scratch, showing in great detail the parts, where they can be purchased from with rough costs and detailed construction. Then there is the problem of siting this contraption on your property and connecting it up. Are there are particular regulations you must apply by law?? How does the gas get from the chamber into your house, nobody ever mentions flash back arrestors, the size of jet you would need in the burner, gas pressures, cleaning the gas before burning. I could go on. For some reason in the UK it isn't a hot topic. Can't think why.
However I am seriously thinking about making such a device and if there are any folk in the UK who have had a go, know any regs that may apply and have any other advice it would be greatly appreciated.
I recently viewed on you-Tube a project by some French inventor called Jean Pain. Since then I have been converted. I just wish I had access to more detailed info.
If you are lucky enough to live on a large piece of land then it's certainly worth considering.
