SISTERS OF ST. LOUIS, GHANA biogas plant

CONSTRUCTION OF NOVITIATE BUILDING FOR SISTERS OF ST. LOUIS AT APROMASE: The building sewage system has 15m3 bio digester plant attached. The plant is located nearly 200ft from the premises but due to excellent technical works the gas is transported through pvc pipes back to the building without significant pressure lost. the plant uses both kitchen waste and human excreta as feedstock.

There is also an amazing small filtration extension that prepares the effluent from the digester to be used as fertilizer to irrigate a vegetable garden on the premises
