TakaNguvu - Bio-Waste to Energy

Energy Production through Solid Bio Waste Management

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.

Rolf Lattmann, March, 2002

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

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 1 - 2 weeks, 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.

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