Preliminary Trails of Cement-Gobar Gas Plant Designs
One way to reduce the cost of bio-gas plants is to use cement to make gas storage domes, instead of steel. A total of 7 different designs of cement bio-gas plants have been made and tested. Both floating ferro-cement gas drum designs and fixed dome displacement digesters were built, with varying success. Details are given of construction techniques, costs and effectiveness of these various designs. The two most effective designs of the seven were a displacement digester (Chinese design) with a cement gas dome and a design that used a floating hemispherical ferro-cement gas dome. Both showed significant savings (35%) in materials cost over a steel drum (Indian) design, although some of this saving was offset by increases in labor costs.
