Biogas Plant Working Model Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-PMP-11217

The Biogas Plant Working Model manufactured by Lab Exports is a functional, benchtop educational tool developed to clarify the complex stages of biomass conversion. The system features a transparent, chemical-resistant digester vessel that allows students to observe the internal decomposition of organic matter by anaerobic bacteria. Supported by gas-tight valves and clear silicone tubing, the model provides an uncompromised view of gas production, accumulation, and routing.

Constructed with durability and student safety in mind, this apparatus includes an integrated gas holder dome that rises as biogas (primarily methane and carbon dioxide) accumulates inside the chamber. The stable acrylic and polymer structure prevents corrosive breakdown from acidic organic mixtures during long-term testing. It serves as an essential teaching aid for academic institutions enhancing their inventories of physics lab equipment, environmental science setups, and interactive school education kits.

Key Features

Transparent Digester Vessel: Provides an unobstructed 360-degree view of the bacterial fermentation and slurry layers.

Functional Gas Holder Dome: Features a floating-drum design that rises physically to indicate gas accumulation.

Chemical-Resistant Materials: Heavy-duty acrylic and high-density polymers withstand biological waste and organic acids.

Gas-Tight Seal Valves: High-precision brass control valves prevent gas leaks and ensure safe, regulated flow.

Integrated Pressure Indicator: Simple water manometer loop demonstrates internal gas pressure changes visually.

Compact, Modular Footprint: Mounted on a stable, self-contained base board that easily fits standard laboratory workbenches.

Applications / Uses

Demonstrating the microbial stages of anaerobic digestion (hydrolysis, acidogenesis, and methanogenesis).

Investigating how different biomass feedstocks (vegetable waste, manure, grass) affect biogas production rates.

Teaching environmental science, carbon cycle dynamics, and green renewable technology principles.

Supplementing interactive curricula in technical schools and universities using didactic models for engineering.

How to Use the Biogas Plant Working Model

Place the working model on a flat, stable, and well-ventilated laboratory bench or fume hood.

Prepare a semi-liquid organic slurry by mixing organic waste (like vegetable purees or animal manure) with warm water in a 1:1 ratio.

Pour the slurry through the inlet funnel into the digester tank until it reaches the recommended operating level, ensuring the inlet tube remains submerged.

Close the gas-tight outlet valve securely and seal all joints to create an oxygen-free (anaerobic) internal atmosphere.

Leave the apparatus in a warm location (ideally between 30°C and 38°C) for several days to allow anaerobic bacteria to decompose the waste.

Monitor the floating gas holder; once it rises, slowly open the control valve to route the generated biogas to a safe demonstration burner nozzle.

Safety Note: Only operate this model in highly ventilated rooms or fume hoods. Keep all open flames away from the digester tank during gas generation phases.

Care & Maintenance

Flush and clean the digester tank, inlet funnel, and outlet valve thoroughly with warm water after every experiment to prevent sour odors and crust formation.

Avoid using abrasive pads or aggressive organic solvents (such as acetone) on the transparent acrylic surfaces to prevent clouding or cracking.

Periodically check the silicone tubing for cracking or stiffness, replacing worn tubes to maintain airtight seals.

Store the completely dry apparatus in a climate-controlled cabinet alongside other educational laboratory instruments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Biogas Plant Working Model used for?

It is used in biology, chemistry, and environmental science classes to demonstrate how microorganisms decompose organic waste without oxygen to produce combustible biogas fuel.

What type of waste works best in this model?

A blended slurry of soft vegetable scraps, fruit peels, or cow manure mixed with warm water produces the most consistent and rapid biological results.

Is the gas produced by this model safe to ignite?

Yes, small quantities of generated biogas can be safely burned using the integrated burner nozzle under strict teacher supervision and in a well-ventilated room.

How long does it take for the model to start generating biogas?

Depending on the ambient temperature and the freshness of the bacterial starter culture, gas production typically starts within 3 to 7 days.

Can this model be used for quantitative data collection?

Yes, students can measure the vertical rise of the floating dome or connect a small water manometer to calculate the volume and pressure of the gas produced over time.
