| Details |
Mr Arun Kumar Kamboj of Chakarpur village, Bazpur Dist. has developed a bio geyser using the basic techniques of making compost manure. His geyser is primarily designed to make compost manure but the heat generated in the process is utilized in heating up water. Thus, he actually has hit two birds with one stone!
Take one 20 ft long iron pipe and close one end of it. On the other end, weld a plate for a socket for 4 inch pipe. On the same plate, weld two ½ inch iron socket. Connect 18 ft long plastic pipe with one of the ½ inch socket. Now fix this pipe in 4 inch pipe. Using this method one can get hot water up to 50-60 degree. The bio material required, i.e., cow/buffalo dung and urine, leaves of sugarcane, agri-waste from fields & roadsides, is easily available too. Not only does one get hot water using this method, one also gets good quality bio fertilizer!
Five years ago, their village was included in Micro Mode schemes and farmers were trained to make bio dynamic compost. Mr Kamboj modified the method slightly to acquire better quality manure. On inspection, he observed much heat generation and thought of using the heat in some way. Thus his accidental findings led him to, consciously develop a bio geyser.
