Dear Tony, I was the one who invented the urban household biogas plant which uses food waste as feedstock. This plant can produce biogas from starch, sugar, cellulose, fat, digestible protein or a combination of these ingredients. Your figures show that you have access to daily about 7 to 10 kg sugar. You would need a floating dome type of biogas plant having digester capacity of 10 cubic meters and gas holder capacity of about 7 to 8 cubic meters. In India, we can buy plastic water tanks of these capacities. We sell a video CD which shows, step by step, how to construct a biogas plant from two plastic water tanks. Thousands of people have constructed their own biogas plants by following our instructions. Yours A.D.Karve
