TakaNguvu - Vision

The idea of TakaNguvu* arose during earlier visits to Kenya when I was exploring the surrounding areas of my hotel in Nyali where I usually stayed. The omnipresent waste is not at all a business card for such an important tourist area as the Mombasa North Coast.

The aim of TakaNguvu is to ensure that as much as possible of biodegradable waste in Kenya is collected in decentralized plants and brought to economic benefit by producing Biogas and Biofertilizer.

The proposed procedures are adapted to the local needs.

Life Cycle Of Organic Material

In farming the life-cycle of biodegradable material is easily understandable.

Digestion is perfectly integrated into organic sustainable farming methods; it is an environmentally friendly technology that produces renewable energy.

TakaNguvu - Implementation

TakaNguvu - Biogas Digesters

On the way to the above-mentioned goal we developed and implemented different types of small and medium size biogas digesters for farmers and communities.

		Puxin Biogas Digester		A fixed dome digester built in 2 - 4 days, with a digesting capacity of 6 m3, 10 m3 or 14 m3

		TakaNguvu 3		TakaNguvu 3 is an implementation of the Polyethylene Biogas Digester (PBD) described by Lylian Rodriguez and T R Preston in Recycling Lifestock Wastes - Biodigester Installation.

		TakaNguvu 1		This is an implementation of the Oil Drum Digester described by E. G. Matthews in Biogas for Overseas Volunteers.

Future

We go on developing and building other and bigger types of biogas digesters.

What does JuaNguvu do for you?

We plan, develop and install biogas digesters for all kind of bio waste.

Interested? Yes, please contact us.

In cooperation with Baobab Trust we offer an one day biogas training.
