2 months active setup plus 5 months monitoring support.
Site Assessment
Begin by identifying a suitable location with 50-70 square metres of levelled ground, good drainage, and proximity to your kitchen. Secure necessary permissions from local authorities and ensure access to water and electricity. Conduct a waste audit to confirm you generate at least 125kg of organic waste daily. Nirmaan's engineers will visit to assess technical feasibility and provide detailed site requirements. This foundation phase ensures your biodigester will operate efficiently and safely for years to come.
Foundation Preparation
Prepare the ground through excavation and civil works to create a stable foundation for the biodigester unit. Install proper drainage systems to handle liquid overflow and ensure structural integrity. Your local team coordinates volunteer labour whilst Nirmaan provides technical specifications and quality control oversight. This phase typically takes 2-3 weeks and requires community coordination to manage construction activities around ongoing kitchen operations.
Plant Installation
Nirmaan's technical team installs the prefabricated biodigester unit, connecting gas pipelines directly to your kitchen and establishing the feeding system for organic waste input. The installation includes safety valves, pressure regulators, and monitoring equipment to ensure optimal performance. Gas piping follows strict safety standards with leak detection systems. This technical phase requires 3-4 weeks and includes comprehensive testing before commissioning.
Training Launch
Receive hands-on training from Nirmaan's experts on daily operation, waste segregation techniques, and basic troubleshooting procedures. Your team learns proper feeding schedules, slurry management, and safety protocols through practical demonstrations. Community awareness events educate broader stakeholders about biogas technology and environmental benefits. Training materials are provided in local languages including English, Hindi, and Telugu. This knowledge transfer ensures confident, independent operation.
Monitor Performance
Track daily biogas production, waste processing volumes, and system performance using provided monitoring tools. Nirmaan conducts monthly performance audits and provides ongoing technical support for five months. Regular maintenance schedules ensure optimal gas output and system longevity. Document fuel savings, emissions reduction, and community engagement metrics. This monitoring phase validates impact and prepares your site for potential replication across other communities.
