The plant is built around a Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) — a proven, internationally established anaerobic digestion technology suited to high-volume manure feedstock.
| Technology Type | Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) |
|---|---|
| Plant Size | 12,000 m³ |
| Daily Manure Feeding | 160 Tons |
| Daily Raw Biogas Yield | 8,000 m³ |
| Fuel-Grade Gas Output | 3,200 Kg per day |
Manure is collected from the dairy farms of Gujjar Colony and delivered to the plant, removing it from the roadside and drains.
160 tons of manure is fed into the system each day through a controlled intake.
Inside the 12,000 m³ CSTR digester, the organic material breaks down in an oxygen-free environment, producing raw biogas.
Around 8,000 m³ of raw biogas produced daily is purified and compressed to yield 3,200 kg of fuel-grade gas.
The fuel-grade gas is supplied as a clean substitute for imported and conventional fuels, while the digested slurry is available as an organic soil conditioner.
The plant is instrumented and monitored in line with applicable international standards for measurement, safety and hazardous-area equipment, ensuring accurate production accounting and safe operation.
General considerations for anyone evaluating a biogas project of their own — distinct from the Gujjar Colony-specific details above.
Assess your feedstock's volume and consistency, evaluate site logistics and land availability, and engage stakeholders — community, regulators and potential gas off-takers — early. A feasibility study should confirm the numbers before capital is committed.
Match the digester design to your feedstock. Continuously Stirred Tank Reactors (CSTR), as used at Gujjar Colony, suit high-volume, pumpable manure. Fixed-dome, floating-drum and plug-flow designs may suit smaller or drier feedstocks — the right choice depends on volume, consistency and available capital.
Size the digester to your daily feedstock volume and the retention time it requires. Undersizing limits gas output; oversizing raises costs without a proportional benefit. Use the biogas potential calculator as a starting point, then validate with a professional feasibility study.

Digested slurry (digestate) is a nutrient-rich organic soil conditioner. Proper storage and timely field application capture its agricultural value and prevent nutrient loss — turning a plant by-product into an additional revenue stream.
