[@marydavies5223]

Thanks for your explanation about the Bio Digester . I just installed a Bio Digester at the house, a month or so ago. I am building in Liberia, West Africa. The area I am building, there is no sewer line installed yet. So I did my research and go with Bio Digester instead of Septic Tank. Thanks again. I really appreciate your representation with excellence graphics. God bless you! Amen.

[@ruthnabasirye204]

Thanks for your well deeper and clarity in explaining and teaching about bio digester.

Thank you for such an excellent explanation. I was searching for information on how bio digesters work and by far your video is the best!! Thank you again!!

You're welcome

[@MukwayaVincent]

Very informative video now that am constructing my first rental apartments. Many thanks!

[@gadzikagunda3617]

I have a few questions. 1. Whats the, "Last Manhole? is that the soak away" 2. Help with the design of the construction. 3. Aside that, I like your animation style, it fits exactly what I want to do next, what is it called, and how can I learn it. 4. May I kindly email you on the details you have left in the description box? Thank you. 5. Finally, thank you so much, this was the right amount of information provided, I binge watched this video, and followed through all the KZbin norms gladly by liking, sharing, subscribing and also commenting. Much appreciated Sir. The only thing I have left out is buying you a cup of coffee but in due time we will be able to.

[@esthermuthoni1169]

Thankyou. It's the best educative video about bio- diesters I've watched on utube. But what about the enzymes and digesters?

[@PropertyNoma]

The enzymes digest the waste, reducing its size in the bio-digester. Maybe in future I'll make a video focusing on the bacterial aspect of bio-digesters.

You can but you'll need a greastrapper installed to trap fats and oils from the kitchen wastewater

A shame it does not explain the inside of the biodigester or how to build one yourself

Hapo kwa soak pit, will water not flood on the ground .... nice explanation

It will depend with the soil. Most soils do a good job with percolation except black cotton soil.

@@PropertyNoma I intend to do this in Joska... I don't know whether soak pit will work

@@mosesbosire4156 It's best to consult with a biodigester contractor about the soil in your area. You can watch my other video about the materials you'll need for a biodigester: kzbin.info/www/bejne/noKaqWirmsx6gLc

My questions answered. I now know how it works. I was wondering how comes it does not fill up despite being used regularly.

[@Gonzalo_M]

Great video! Thanks you for that! 🙂

[@dplusarc]

This is great, but still needs a bit of further explanation. Waste is broken down to water and gas. Water is displaced as more waste enters.What happens to the gas generated?

[@PropertyNoma]

It escapes via the outlet pipe

[@PropertyNoma]

@Spiritual Master (The Shaolin Monk) It can but there needs to be a lot more solid waste e.g from cattle or pigs

[@phillipokoth8082]

Very useful video. I have used a biodigester for several yrs. But the recent rains have flooded my digester. What solutions exist. Or how can I get help

[@jimmymungai522]

Great explanation. Is this system for ALL household waste water? Toilet, bath/shower, wash basin/sink, kitchen, laundry/washing machine waste water?

[@PropertyNoma]

Yes it is. Though bath/kitchen waste water is directed into the soak pit and not into the biodigester. The biodigester deals with waste from the toilet

[@caupinnabulizi6325]

Thanks a lot for the video but my question is about water that enters has oxygen H2O how can you say that there is no oxygen in?

[@PropertyNoma]

Excellent point. What I meant is how the biodigester is sealed to prevent entry of air. The waste is broken down by anaerobic bacteria and the gas that is released is methane gas. That's the idea

[@duncanmaina7491]

Is it possible to convert an existing septic tank into a biodigester?

You're not supposed to throw diapers or food in these types of biodigesters. They are designed for toilet flush water

[@LAIZCO]

Thanks for this. My place is waterlogged. The construction of a small biodigester is ongoing. Should I stop it as this video lesson cancelled the idea in such an area?

[@PropertyNoma]

You should consult a soil/geotechnical engineer before installing the biodigester to assess the soil & water conditions of your plot. The soak pit should not be dug in a waterlogged area.
