Over the weekend, we went shopping for the things that would be required at a local market. The prototype would be built at minimal cost as it is meant to be used in poorer rural areas. This digester would have the benefit of saving farming families the cost of sourcing for LPG, Kerosene or firewood which are widely used for cooking in this part of the World.
We went for mostly PVC materials as they are easier to handle, cheaper and (arguably) have a lower maintenance cost.
On that Day we got the following items:
- A Big Plastic Drum $30
- 5 yards of gas hose $7
- 1 funnel $1.30
- 1 length of PVC pipe & a 1" ball valve $1.30
- rubber gloves $2.70
- Inner Tube (to store the gas) $10
This leaves us wit tyre tubes for storing the gas and the Cow Dung which would power the decomposition.
