Abstract

The high rate of fossil fuel depletion, its effects on the environment and the instability in crude oil prices has consolidated in the search for other alternative source of nonfossil fuels which are renewable, biodegradable and environmentally friendly. In this research a modified biodigester was locally constructed how to develop, using a steel drum, which have the capacity of about 20kg bio-methane gas storage tank of about a hundred litres of water displacement tank of 15 litres standard steel drum. It was used for the generation biogas (biomethane): Using ram dung and urine as the major feedstock. The major aim of constructing this bio digester tank was to use it to produce biofuel, by converting biodegradable biological waste into useful clean biodegradable fuel which will be safe for both human health and the environment.
