Checklist for the Construction of a Biogas Plant

Overview

The checklist for the construction of a biogas plant is summarized below

• Planning of the Biogas Plant

i.e. site evaluation, determination of energy demand and biomass supply / biogas yield, plant sizing, selection of plant design, how and where to use the biogas, etc., in accordance with the planning guide

• Stipulate the plant's location and elaborate a site plan

including all buildings, gas pipes, gas appliances and fields to be fertilized with digested slurry

• Draft a technical drawing showing all plant components

i.e. mixing pit, connection to stabling, inlet / outlet, digester, gas-holder, gas pipes, slurry storage

• Preparation of material / personnel requirements list and procurement of materials needed for the chosen plant:

bricks / stones / blocks for walls and foundation

sand, gravel

inlet / outlet pipes

metal parts (sheet metal, angle irons, etc.)

gas pipes and fittings

paint and sealants

gas appliances

tools

mason and helper

unskilled labor

workshop for metal (gas-holder) and pipe installation

• Material / personnel assignment planning, i.e. procedural planning and execution of:

excavation

foundation slab

digester masonry

gasholder

rendering and sealing the masonry

mixing pit - slurry storage pit

drying out the plant

installing the gas pipe

acceptance inspection

• Regular building supervision Commissioning

functional inspection of the biogas plant and its components

starting the plant

• Filling the plant

​

• Training the user
