G'day Vianney,
The starting point is to find out/estimate the holding tank size and the daily input/output (depending which way you look at it!) of manure. It may be that the anaerobic digester is already there and a cover will collect the methane ready for use. What happens to the manure after the tank?

I am heading to Kasese today, however, I would want to share yesterday's photos with you (sorry the dates on the photos are for Feb 14th 2012 - my camera seems to be crazy lately!!). This is a farm 40 km away from Kampala, a long Hoima Masindi road. The farm has over 600 dairy cows, 250 of these are in a single facility that I was able to visit. All the dung from this facility is moved into a massive tank, (this is the biggest cow dung collection point I have come across!! It is heaven for a biogas gig!). The dungs needs to be converted to Electricity. I will focus on the assessment for biogas, however, I do not much experience with these larger biogas systems. Are you in position to advise? Your experience will be fantastic. Let me know what you think. I am off for now, I will be back. Kind regards Vianney Tumwesige Director-Green Heat (U) Ltd P.O.
