Biogas usage
Practical Action
Oh! I’m not able to add
caw dung into the
digester
The most likely reasons
The pipe used to enter the raw material is
blocked.
The edge of the pipe is getting blocked with
sand or small rocks.
Solution
Insert a bamboo stick or a wooden stick and
check the pipe.
Open the lid of the digester then clear the
pipeline.
