[Assam] Smell from Biodiesel in Guwahati

[Himendra Thakur]

Dear Mr. Talton,



The room height being generally about 10 feet, the volume of space for your proposed biodiesel plant in the house will be only 1000 cft. That is really encouraging.



However, will the process generate bad smell? With windows open, the smell may be objectionable to the neighbors. The city I am talking about is reportedly populated by 2,515,030 people on an area 4,345 km²   (density 579/ km²) without any sewer system. Leeching fields of neighbors overlap. Many houses discharge raw sewage into open city drains. Smell is terrible. The city does not have adequate water-supply. 

 

This city also suffers from a terrible solid-waste problem. What will be the quantity and type of raw material for the 10 feet x 10 feet x 10 feet home-biodiesel plant and how much solid waste will be produced? 



Thanking you, and 

With the best wishes,

Himendra Barthakur

  10 by 10 foot space with windows open should be fine.

    Dear Mr. Talton,

    That is really very interesting. What is the minimum floor area & the minimum volume of space required? As for ventilation, will it be enough if windows are opened, or do we need fans? And, what are the raw material?

    Thanking you, and

      You need a well-ventalited space, but it does not have to be in the countryside.

        Dear Mr. Talton,

        I am very interested how the biodiesel energy can be developed. I have heard that production of biodiesel energy is feasible only in a countryside. Is it possible to develop this kind of energy in the homes of a densely populated city? 

        With the best wishes,
