Demonstration of Biogas based Power
Generation in Bangladesh :
50 kW Biogas( Poultry drops)
based Power Generation Unit :
IDCOL going to implement 50kW power
generation unit based on the bio gas produced from the
poultry farm having 30,000 birds. This will be the largest
biogas based power plant in the country. The project will be
complemented by May 2009.
Location : Upazila :
Trishal, District Mymensing

Electricity Generation From Poultry Waste
A statistical reports from livestock Department In our country there are about 1 (one) laces Poultries farms in non-Govt. level. From the use of poultry drops of those frame it is possible to produce 1 kw electricity each poultry farm totally we can produce 100 Mega watt. Produce electricity can be their own purpose. It will be great save of our electricity department.
It is a good news that Shahidul Hassan Khoka man of Bogra installed a biogas plant in his own Poultry farm Sugabad and in 1998 he successfully produced electricity from the biogas. In the plant from 9000 poultry’s west producing 7.5 KW electricity daily and he gets 3500 eggs from the poultry. With the technical help of Bangladesh Science and technology he installed 180 cu ft biogas plant and modify a 1000 cc old SI engine finally he started the engine with this gas. He connected an old Generator capacity 7.5 KW.
No of shed =5
Tube light (40 Watt)= 110
Hopper (260 Watt)=10
Bulb 100 Watt = 20
Water pump (1 Hp) = 1
Now Mr. Shahidul Islam in future want to expand his project 100 KW.
Demonstration of 10 Kw Power generation system from poultry waste in Bangladesh ( UNDP supported)
Background : Now a days poultry has become an emerging sector to meet countries protein demand. Likewise the sector offers huge potential to produce clean electricity utilizing poultry waste that could meet the power demand of this sector as well as the need of the adjacent households at low cost. Actually Biogas produced from poultry waste is used to generate electricity by suing generator. When organic waste like poultry waste, cow dung, any agricultural residue etc. are decomposed in the absence of air, clean gas is produced which is commonly known as bio-gas. The content of the gas is about 70% methane (CH4) and the rest are carbon-di-oxide (CO2), sulpher di-oxide and moisture. By burning this gas electricity can be produced. After producing this gas residual slurry can be used as a good quality organic fertilizer.
Project Location : Faridpur District
Description :
Faridpur Orphanage Institute for rehabilitation of the orphans and destitute children. As a part of its

Bio Electricity (Generated from Poultry waste )in use at Poultry Farm , Faridpur
massive programme to provide shelter, food, and education to them,
Faridpur Orphanage Institute, immediately after its inception in 1984, instituted an orphanage named as ‘Faridpur Orphanage Institute in 1984. It has now 400 inmates from different parts of the country. Other than formal education the inmates are engaged in different vocational activities such as Pisciculture, Cattle farming, Poultry farming, Hands on training on Auto-mobile, Turner, Welding, Carpentary, Electrical works, Electronics, Mini garments and Computer training.

A Poultry house of about one thousand square feet has been constructed for the poultry project of the Institute. The children of the Institute are provided hands-on training from this project. The eggs and fowls from this project supply nutrition to the inmates. It is also a major income generating activity of the Mission, that’s why we consider this site to be economically viable for implementing ‘Electricity generation unit from poultry waste’. After completion of the project the system will be handed over to the Management Committee and they will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the power unit.
Sustainable Rural Energy (SRE), a component of Sustainable Environment Management Programme (SEMP), a project of Ministry of Environment and Forest funded by UNDP, has installed several pilot demonstration plants using renewable energy sources like Solar, Wind, Hydro and Biomass. As a part of our activities we have installed an electricity generation unit from poultry waste at Faridpur Orphanage Institute. If successful, this project could be replicated throughout the country and contribute significantly to our energy sector.
Salient Features of Electricity Generation Unit at Faridpur Orphanage Institute :
-
Total number of birds at present are 5000 Mission has planned to increase the number up to 20000 in the future
Installed power generation at present is 4 KW, to be increased up to 10 KW
Capacity of bio-gas plant is 2000 ft
Use of biogas residue : Own Agriculture farm of Orphanage Institute, Faridpur.
