Great job man. UV does breakdown plastic for sure but there is a few very cheap solutions. You need to use fibre glass to seal the top. Then spray with uv proof paint. Then cover with black uv resistant plastic. Have you tried putting a electric blanket around the IBC (which uses very little energy) and then spray foam insulating the tank and of course keeping in an insulated green house. I can make a home made green house using clear plastic sheeting for £300 in the uk using recycled timber. You might need to have a slow speed electric motor stirrer on the top set on a timer to run for 5 minutes 4 times a day job done. It’s great to see you so passionate about this though and gas is so expensive. Thanks for your tips. It really helps the rest to avoid costly mistakes.

[@cvictor8999]

A way to deal with clogging would be to install a filter at the mouth and insert a hand driven rotor right beside the pipe with connected rudders that move beneath the intake. From time to time you run it to clear stuffs cumulated under the pipe to let gas pass

[@robertoaguiar6230]

Thanks for the tip, when I ever do mine I'll cover the plastic with some vernish or some asbestos tile before using it.

[@mowtivatedmechanic1172]

Awesome video brother. Learned a lot clicking on the first video.

WOW that Bag is Huge!! Can't wait to see it Full!!

[@ModernOffGridDIY]

Yes sir im really exited Im really happy I will never have to buy propane again, This bag full is a ton of biogas. Im really exited about my new biogas digester I got from www.thebiogasstore.com I will post alot more vids on biogas.

[@lincolnklee]

is it safe to have under house?

[@ModernOffGridDIY]

Yes it's not Pressurized. Plus I can always move the storage bag anywhere I want. The new biogas digester I bought from www.thebiogasstore.com/ has a built-in storage so most people won't need a big bag but I wanted to make sure I have endless gas plus this bag when be used to fill other bags for my rental house I'm getting ready to build soon.

[@macarenarojo]

Some Biogas Users from cold rural Altiplano Andino just tie rows of empty plástico bottles all around their biodigestors and cover It all in plástic kitchen film. That IS their upcycling Greenhouse.

[@davidoutdoors74]

How’s the digester coming haven’t seen a updated video. Can’t wait to see how it’s doing 👍🏻

[@robertsteck6875]

There is an easy fix for cracks in any type of plastic from IBC totes to plastic gas tanks. Use a wood burner (arts and crafts wood burner) and get some of the same material as the plastic you are fixing, w/the wood burner melt a V straight through the crack w/o melting through the material your working with. Then take a strip of an old IBC (in this case) you cut out and start melting and blending in the new material then smooth it out using the smooth side of the wood burner. Hope this helps!

[@MoveOutMedia]

Great video by the way.

[@RandyRandersonthefamous]

Tap the bag with a tee in the line. Use the bag kinda like a buffer. Connect the tee into an air compressor and feed into a LP cylinder. If you know how much gas is getting made, you could even put the air pump on a timer and cycle it daily. Be careful with that though don't want to suck the liquid up. Don't really think having it in a non enclosed system causing problems is a downside. It should be enclosed in a shed with ok airflow and a dedicated (sealed) heater fed by biogas it generates. If you want a heating element capture sun energy with some black water tanks. Use a hand pump or 12v pump to feed it around the digester or inside.

[@lengthOFpole]

Hello you should replace the 2 90's on the top of the bio digester with t unions with threaded caps. That should reduce the labor for the clean out slightly.

[@michaeldemarillac9992]

I would place the empty tank on a metal base with insulating foam on top, then wrap chicken wire around the tank and encase it with cement mixture (Ferro cement). It would fit like a glove around fittings which would remain unimpeded. I would make a lid made of Ferro cement material, then paint it black. It will solve UV breakdown of the plastic. Consider electric stirrer as suggested elsewhere. You can place wooden upright planks at different height to make a sturdy step up, bit like mountain climbing with your footing, a lot of fun. It may alleviate the biofilm issue.

[@Listen1111]

its a bummer their website doesnt work anymore. Do you know why? I want to get one and figure out how to run my on demand hot water heater on biogas. Mahalo nui loa for sharing your insight and experience

[@trannycreature8796]

Seems like a good idea looking to get into this myself, can you recommend a starter kit?

[@ryan.a]

You could build or buy a geodesic dome as a green house for your IBC bio digester.

[@FREE_WILL_AAHhhhhhhhhhhhh]

if you dig a hole under the ibc and pile a lot of grass into the hole it makes heat for free. compost heat to heat up the digester to make methane?

[@simonsiron887]

loved the video man. can you link down where you got the puxin bag.

[@strangescience3414]

Do you ever have to empty it?? Or just keep adding? What are some of the best ingredients to add to the digester?

Hello. How long (approximately) will two gallons of methane last using a one burner stove on medium heat last on average OR how many gallons would be needed for 30 minutes of cooking under the same stipulations? Thanks.

[@besprutad]

Do you know exatly how much it does produce? Like, if it's possible to calculate how much you get depending on the square meter, and how much you add and how much gas it produces, and how long you can good with that gas. thanks

Great Information Question Have you thought about using solar panels to generate hydrogen gas The biogas storage bag looks like it could be great for hydrogen gas storage...

[@dansw0rkshop]

That black paint radiates heat outward. Wrap the sides with silver foil bubble wrap at least. There isn't much sun on the sides anyway.

[@knettel1989]

have you ever though of placing compost around your biodigester to heat it.

[@JoeMalovich]

if you cover it with a black tarp then it will still absorb the sun's heat and lose less at night. Seems cheap and easy. Have you been logging the temperature? Also it seems like you could go with more efficient appliances like an induction cooktop and heat pump water heater to run off of your existing pv system instead of dealing with the digester.

[@ModernOffGridDIY]

I understand your points but their is to many cons to a setup like this. That's why I bought a really good biogas digester so I don't waste time and money going forward. The new unit is 100x better. www.thebiogasstore.com/

[@mnemonic5819]

Two words: waste management. It's arguably one of the biggest challenges in a self-sufficient lifestyle, especially if you seek to be both economical and environmentally-friendly. Both aforementioned appliances are fine, but use electricity where there exist alternatives. By reducing reliance on electricity, it becomes less of a neccessity and more of a luxury. I will grant you that people have been cooking and heating water with wood fires for literal millenia, sure. However, we now get back to the heart of the issue: waste management. You can turn trash into something of value. Plus, methane burns cleaner. When investing, you diversify. It's no different when it comes to energy use. Just solar comes with risk and very slow return. Solar, wind, and biogas at the same time though? Banking.

[@macarenarojo]

What about wrapping the while tank in empty plástic bottles and cover in some layers of plástic foul?

[@davidoutdoors74]

Its cold here again in New york and my ibc digester is still producing

[@kratomseeker5258]

this might sound like a dumb question but are you letting fertizer from the top/middle off of that? i did not see the fitting.

[@mountainbikerdave]

why not use solar tubes for free heat and cover the plastic?

[@seanjsolar2493]

Hey Bro good info but what do you plan to do with the gas you produce after you fill that large bag seen that you may not use it as fast as it takes to refill the small bag?

[@macarenarojo]

It can even be pressurized and bottled

[@necterbeau5568]

Well, you still have to work with “planned obsolescence” with any technology anyway. I’d agree with u on buying rather than DIY. Unless DIY is high quality and makes fiscal and maintenance sense.

[@viuvenitlalumina]

a tent will.protect the top and keep it warm in the night and day and wintertime. try give it a bit of shade . a small roof or plastic tent. any customised plastic cover will give enough external protection, the green stuff needs to be mixed with a mixer, less material, and water no need clogging. the gas pillow can serve as a protection cover against the sun if it is placed on top of tank.

[@ModernOffGridDIY]

It needs to be in the sun to heat naturally. Greenhouse would work but not in my area way to windy all the time

[@gofaoneticketkedise8341]

Thanx for sharing on how to make a portable biogas digester through your videos I have learnt how to build my own digester and probably help our poor communities here in Africa to make themselves some digesters. I just want you to make a video on how to convert an LPG gas equipment ( stoves, heaters, lights) to biogas equipment

[@ModernOffGridDIY]

I'll make a video on it

[@stevehall1466]

Great job

[@lugo2214]

Do you have propane, converted appliances, or biogas specific appliances?

[@cherokeeMamaw]

Try using the flex tape. It works a lot better then the spray

[@ModernOffGridDIY]

This type of design of bio digester is not the best this my i bought a new biogas digester from www.thebiogasstore.com it's the best and less problems. More User friendly.

[@glenngoodale1709]

did you get training on all these systems? you seem to be very smart

[@AndrewMarsch]

Any other suggestions where to get a storage bag like this one? Like other people say the site is no longer available.

[@r.j.4950]

Try using lime powder to speed up digestion / gas production to 3 days instead of 3 week`s.

[@deg00gleurself91]

Would it have worked better if the tank was 3/4 full with a head space? Would an adjator to mix the tank help things? Cheers.

[@ModernOffGridDIY]

Once I'm new biogas digester gets delivered and I set it up I will show everyone why it's way better and compare them so everyone knows.

[@zXEMGXz]

You should hook a compressor to the bag and fill used propane/butane cylinders 👍

[@mowtivatedmechanic1172]

Do a video on your idea

[@RotApple0]

Please post the name of the web site for the gas storage bag you mention at the beginning of this video; I have a difficult time picking up the name. Thank you.

[@edkwesicharman2761]

after inoculating the biodigester must it sit idle for a period or u continue to feed it till it produces gas

[@nandodando9695]

So home projects must also be mini-shed/greenhouse to both heat and mitigate UV radiation. It's a great project for the skint it's nice to see someone who's made one buy one. :D

I will show everyone why it's better. I have been testing and using biogas for years now so I know alittle more on this subject then others might think. Money is time and time is Quality of life.

[@nandodando9695]

Eloquently put. Knowing the truth value is useful. I see one in my future. I need a garden.

[@viuvenitlalumina]

Once you give some shade to the top, the plastic will stop degrading from the sun. 2 too much water makes the tank vomit.

Are you afraid of the bio bag being so close to your beautiful home???? I think this is Soo cool because I have most of the parts sitting around to build this so I'm stoked. Hey my friend if you know anyone that builds/ repairs homes you could get the old sliding doors and make a green house and use plastisc as a hoop roof . You can build this super cheap and it will look awesome. I always look for stuff folks are throwing away . I was shy in the beginning to ask people if I could have the stuff they were gonna throw away but now I don't care what they think!!! All they can do is say NO it's going to the landfill and nobody has ever said no they usually ask me what I'm working on lol also I get sooooo much brand new siding from big companies that build houses they said they rather give me leftovers then store it , & saves them dumpster room. I have built a 9 foot x 12ft lean 2 and only purchased 2. 2x4's also my chicken coop and rabbit hutches free they look nice also . So I'm sure you would build some serious bad ass stuff lol your smart. Have a blessed day my friend.

A CLARIFICATION ON MY PREVIOUS COMMENT: If you are are able to take advantage of living in the richest country on the planet then PLEASE DO SO!!!!!. your family comes first. MUCH RESPECT.

[@covinhas87]

I might be dumb with this question.. Your water tank is getting cracked by the sun and you are struggling to keep it warm enough. You said that a green house is to expensive.. But I can see there is an old truck laying in your field. Why don't you fit the tank inside the truck?it will be protected from direct sun and for sure will reach good temperatures. And it's there for free. I'm sure the tank in the truck system would last more than your new "thebiogasstore" thing.

[@ModernOffGridDIY]

I just installed my new biogas digester I made a whole video on it it went live today check it out.

[@Jeremy-kg1zr]

Yeah, there are lots of solutions here that wouldn't be very difficult and cost Way less than $2,400... His whole set-up could be better, but even working with the current one, which isn't bad, he could simply buy some plexiglass/acrylic and some 1" angle aluminum strips and build a little green house really easily and cheaply. Then just put a tarp hanging above the tank to block direct sun, but high enough that it's still easy to feed the tank. I'd actually even put the feeding tube angled to the side to make it easier to feed. I'm not hating. There's nothing wrong with simply buying a "plug and play" system. Just saying, for those who have a tighter budget, you can build a perfectly good system and use it without having to spend $2,400 on a pre-made system.

[@soundsofmicronesia2587]

What about the safety of your family since you put it under the house?

[@michaelmack1966]

Great info! How much time per week do you estimate you spend servicing your biogas system?

[@ModernOffGridDIY]

This unit I built I feed it every day or every other day. Fixing problems hard to say. This is why I bought my new biogas digester from www.thebiogasstore.com/ so I don't have any problems anymore.

[@michaelmack1966]

I looked at the website and agree with you about the unit they sell. I think the whole industry is going to take off in the states like solar has. I work off site, away from my homestead. The solar electric is working great. I guess my concern with the bio gas is, can it be neglected for a few days in a row while I'm away or does it require daily maintenance?

[@ModernOffGridDIY]

Thank you for your support, I agree the biogas digester www.thebiogasstore sales is the best way to go. To answer your question you don't have to feed it or do any maintenance daily. I some times don't feed main for 4 or 5 days. But of course the production will be less once you start feeding it again it will start making a lot of gas. The system is every Forgiving. Just feed it good before the days you won't be around so it's making gas when your not home then just start feeding it again when you do get home. If I feed it everyday I get a lot of gas everyday. My whole house is on biogas. I'm really excited about my new biogas digester that's coming in it will fix and solve all the problems I had with my old homemade unit. Plus the new biogas digester looks nice compared to my homemade unit lol.

[@ModernOffGridDIY]

Barely 2 min 35 sec into it and 1st thought was "why under the house? Why not adjacent to the house with a wood frame around it for structural integrity and roof to collect rain water?" Just a thought.

[@ModernOffGridDIY]

All suggestions are welcome

[@gabesennheiser]

your cons are valid for the DIY, but the design of that diy looks similar to the solar city design which could have clogging issues. because of the layering in digester if you had a "overflow pipe" that comes out the side of the tank at the middle, with a pipe and a T that goes to maybe 4-5 inches away from the top it will act as a overflow and prevent all that biomass from clogging and leave a gas buffer zone. IMHO the fill should be setup in a similar matter, but with a sweeping 90 at the bottom of the tank with a fill pipe that goes up level with the top of the tank.

You don't need to build a greenhouse or buy a biodigester from the Biogas store. Just wrap the IBC with Saran wrap and that will create a green house effect on the ICBC for a couple of dollars. If you buy the plastic Saran wrap at the 99 cents store or dollar store, it will probably be even cheaper.

[@ModernOffGridDIY]

Won't work like that the wind will cool down the tank, plus ibc tank not good for biogas digester.

[@somebody6048]

@@ModernOffGridDIY That is what the Saran wrap is for. It protect the tank from the wind and environment. I have seen a video where they made a green house by wrapping the frame with Saran wrap, instead of glass. So I don't see why it would not work here if it works for a green house. The IBC frame that hold the container is equivalent to the frame of a green house.

I don’t know is it going to be very safe having a large flammable gas tank inside your house that’s just in a bag. The closest thing that I’ve seen to that is having a large oil tank in a house. Which I believe fuel oil is a lot less flammable.

[@r.j.4950]

Don`t put it under you`re house it could be dangerous if it explodes. Put in a out side shed or bury it in the ground several feet where the temp is constent, still easy to get to when needed.

[@drme66]

that's what I was wondering as well. I have MS so one of my twins and I were thinking of selling the big house and getting a couple of tinies and attach with a porch or greenhouse patio between the two and a garage off the back for my wheelchair lift/ accessible vehicle and game/ rec area. But was looking at options that don't require septic but could still use bidet, toilet cloths like we did when stationed in Germany. Putting this semi under the porch (which would cover a concrete or some sort of storm shelter)

[@douglaswindsor120]

So you build an insulated box around it stops sun degradation at this point for this tank its to late so if you have the money it's far easier and designed for optimal performance the thing is a home built unit can get you off the grid if you pay even 20 $ per month it only has to last a year or two and be put up for that long before you can buy a good factory built one as for don't build just buy that's great if you have a good cash flow or credit if you are low income especially seniors they are low income and can't get credit I'm looking at going solar and cutting the grid both power and gas but I've got both problems I'm a senior on low income keeping the ability to return to the grid when it time to sell is reasonable 5$ to keep the electric hooked up will still save me over 220 $per month and for gas it's 30 $$per month but unlike the power I'll still have a meter so I can use the gas company for an emergency gas supply when I convert my furnace it'll be able to run on either methane or natural gas for the stove I'll only have 2 burners able to use both that way if methane gas production slows I can still have heat and can still cook

Did they change their web address for the complete kit? I get a 404 Error every time I try to go there.

I put a couple of notices out over the last month telling everyone they might close their online store. They are still taking orders contact email is [e-mail]

Love the effort that you put in this videos but please let me point out that this video could have been 5 minutes long without the excessive repetition and lack of script. It’s hard to follow the constant switching

Hey me again so I successfully made biogas but after about two months it ran dry and I really don't know how to get it working again My theories are 1The water I used was treated with alkaline chemicals 2 I wasn't constantly feeding my tank 3 I used a bit of kitchen and dog waste 4 a drop in temperature recently I'm really sad and worried so much investment If I can get a reply that would be great Also I considered the whole Ph,air and ammonia factor but I couldn't really detect anything I'm really sad

Heya. So using tap water is no good because the water treatment chemicals kill your bacteria. This is easily avoided by collecting rainwater, which he mentions in the video. Daily feeding of the digester is ideal, but keep in mind they're quite versatile; grass for example is excellent. Use kitchen waste with caution: meat for example should be used extremely sparingly if at all, however as a general rule fruits and veggies are a good addition. Breaking everything up before introduction is always helpful. Dog waste is a fine addition, although other types of animal waste would result in more efficient production of methane, for example cow manure, horse manure, or rabbit droppings. As for #4 I'm not sure if low temperatures actually kill the bacteria or simply put them on pause, sorry. Hope this helps a bit.

Most likely was not feeding it enough and temperature drop. I have a podcast I cover some of this there check it out.

You mentioned needing to keep the bio-digester warm. Could a bio-digester work in the northern states?

[@ModernOffGridDIY]

I dont live there so I would not be able to say yes or no.

Bury, insulate and heat with solar thermal.

How do you pump the gas out?
