Bio-digester (Bio-septic tank) Explained: An Alternative to a Septic Tank

If you're looking to build your property in Kenya, you'll need a proper sanitation solution. That's where biodigesters fill in the gap.
You may have heard about biodigesters but don't really know what they are and how they work. That's what this video is about.
We'll also talk briefly about septic tanks and why biodigesters perform better than them.

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.

[@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.

Hello Proff... that is a great eye opener on biodigester operation...how do we determine the specific quantity of bacteria to apply??

Very informative. With scarcity of space this is ideal 👌🏾

[@PropertyNoma]

Yes indeed

[@rufusthuku5596]

Where can one find the facility in Nakuru County?

[@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.
