Benefits of BADLAO Model

  • Effective waste management i.e., no storage space is required and reduces dispose off expenses.
  • Ensure proper hygiene and sanitation on the farm premises.
  • The productivity of the animals/birds is increased as the possibility of infections due to animal waste/ litter is reduced.
  • Biogas unit converts the gas into power, decreasing the farm's reliance on the electricity grid.
  • Additionally, provide clean cooking gas as an alternative to LPG/firewood to the staff of the farm.
  • Biogas unit provides a good quality nutrient-rich organic manure rich in N, P, K, which can be sold to the farmers, nurseries, horticulture department, etc.,
  • The Manure can be further processed to value-added products like PROM.
  • Briquettes from manure is another option that can be used as an alternative to wood for burning. 

BADLAO model

  • Capital investment in the corresponding size of biogas units is low.
  • MS gasholder coated with FRP to prevent corrosion.
  • As there is no moving part, the maintenance cost is minimized.
  • The effect of low temperature is less due to the FRP-coated gasholder.
  • It can be easily adapted/modified for the use of other materials along with dung slurry.

Other existing model

  • Capital Investment is high.
  • MS gas holder is a must that needs to be replaced after a few years due to corrosion damage.
  • The cost of maintenance is high.
  • The effect of low temperatures during winter is more, which leads to decreased gas production. 
  • It is suitable for the processing of cow dung only. Other organic materials could clog the plant.
