Our Cost

We have found that many people are interested in adopting this technology but are hesitant to do so because of the cost. The vast majority of those promoting these toilets are greedy people who are only interested in making huge profits but deliver poor work. They typically charge very high prices (sometimes $2000+ per toilet) which makes it unobtainable to many.

Other companies claim their toilets are affordable yet they fail to mention what exactly is included. Many cheaper models only include 1 biodigester chamber but no grease trap, or extra chamber, just to name a few.

What is a Biodigester Septic Tank?

This is a chamber that facilitates anaerobic digestion to produce liquid sludge. In other words, it is a waste and sewerage treatment system that is preferred by many homeowners and business people because of its many benefits when compared to a conventional septic tank.

First of all, waste such as green vegetables, manure, sewerage, human waste, and municipal waste is broken down or decomposed by enzymes or bacteria to gases and liquid which can be reused at homes or shops.

A Bio digester system vs a Septic Tank

Bio-digesters in Kenya and Nairobi have replaced septic tanks because the government and construction experts are urging people to go green toward waste management. This is a great move, especially for people that live where there are no good sewerage facilities.

Also, normal septic tanks fill up quickly, especially during the rainy season, they occupy large space, have more building cost and you will be required exhauster for life, unlike a biodigester system.

This is the opposite of bio digesters which have less building costs and are cheaper in the long run. You will be saving more than 10,000; money that is used to pay for exhaust services every month especially if you have a large household.

How does a Biodigester Septic Tank Work?

Bio-digester septic tanks convert organic matter such as manure, green waste, human excreta, sewerage, and municipal waste to useful compounds such as water and gas.

In Kenya, this waste management system is mostly fed with liquid and solid waste from the kitchen and toilets.

Bacteria are used to bring about an anaerobic process. These bacteria enzymes inside a biodigester decompose the carbohydrates, cellulose, fats, and proteins inside the waste into usable products.

The biodigester creates a good environment for bacteria to break down this organic matter. When constructing one, we must include an airtight chamber that is free of oxygen so that the anaerobic process can take place well.

A good Biodigester Septic Tank Design is Crucial

These bacteria function very well in areas that do not have oxygen. Therefore, a good biodigester septic tank design is required so as to increase its efficiency in breaking down waste matter.

Good bio digester septic tank designs produce clearer affluence because waste has been completely broken down. Waste management systems installed by us produce clear effluent because we are professionals in what we do. In fact, we are Nema-approved.

Installing a bio digester in your home, school or commercial property is the best decision you will make since it comes with a bucketful of benefits. They have replaced septic tanks.

You will have a cleaner and healthy environment and you will not have to worry about refills and calling exhauster services in your life. As I mentioned before, biodigesters come in varying sizes depending on users on the premises.

They also come in different shapes, and this will be determined by output requirements, space, infrastructure, and waste matter type.

Advantages of a Biodigester Toilet System

As I mentioned before, constructing a bio digester in your home, commercial property or school is the best decision you can make since it comes with tons of benefits. Here are the advantages of biodigester over the septic tank.

• Break down waste into usable compounds such as sludge, water, and gas
• The water produced can be used for irrigation, sludge can be used as fertilizer since it is rich in nutrients and gas can be used for cooking.
• The cost of building a bio digester is affordable when compared to a septic tank and it is cheaper in the long run since no refills and exhauster services
• No smells since it produces odorless gas
• This waste management system can be used right at home, on commercial properties, on government premises, and in schools.
• They are environmentally friendly since they do not produce a foul smell
• It does not fill up like a septic tank since waste is completely broken down into water which you can reuse
• They have a lifespan of up to 20 years when they are properly maintained or cared for well.
• It does not take up a lot of space and can be installed underground

They are Affordable

Installing a modern bio digester is affordable over the traditional septic system. This includes excavating its holes, drainage trenches, materials, and labor. First of all, it takes less space and this will save you money.

With a septic tank, it can waste your valuable land, especially for a 50X100 setup. Also, no exhauster is needed with bio digesters. You will save money every month as you will not be seeking exhauster services that can charge a lot for their services.

At our Company, we have installed a modern toilet bio-digester in a school and this technology supports better hygiene and will be cheap in the long run since no seeking unreliable exhaust services.

It is a wise investment that you can make because it will solve many problems. Do not forget that the end products such as water can be re used to flush the toilets and the gas be used for cooking.

Ideal Waste Management System in Nairobi, Kenya

If you are looking for the best way to manage your waste, consider a bio-digester. It completely breaks down organic matter such as human waste, sewage, manure, kitchen waste, and municipal waste into water, gas, and slurry that can be used as fertilizer.

The slurry makes a great fertilizer since it is rich in nutrients such as potash, nitrogen, and phosphorous. This will improve your soil a lot and will yield healthy crops.

The gas produces (mainly methane) can be used for cooking. It is odorless and smokeless which makes it a great substitute for charcoal, kerosene, or even firewood that is often used in Kenya.

Since it produces a clean and smokeless blue flame, this will reduce respiratory and eye conditions that are caused by smoke in unventilated houses.

Most people in Kenya install bio-digesters to manage human waste hence they are connected to private or public toilets. It is also connected to sanitation facilities and hence receives a lot of greywater from sinks and showers.

It is environmentally friendly

This waste management system is environmentally friendly. Why do I say so? This is because it does not produce a foul smell and is not polluting. Instead, it produces a clean source of energy.

This is the main reason why many homes are constructing these waste management systems. They use the natural process and hence do not require energy for them to function.

It is worth noting that biodigesters reduce water and soil pollution. Landfills do not only smell but have toxic liquids flow out of them to nearby lands and water sources. They are sources of diseases such as cholera and this possess a great risk to people living nearby.

Construct biogas to improve water quality, and reduce pollution hence reducing the incidence of diseases.

Compact in Size

These waste management systems are compact in size. This is unlike septic tanks which are usually big and occupy a large area when installed.

Furthermore, biodigester tanks can be installed underground thus saving space if you live in urban areas. They can be installed in homes, schools, churches, gated communities, farms, petrol stations, and even in residential areas.

No Exhauster Needed

This is one of the advantages of a bio digester. After installing it, you will never need the services of an exhauster since waste is completely broken down into water and gas.

In addition, you will never have bad odors since this system completely breaks down the waste, unlike septic tanks that just store the waste.

To ensure that your system works as required, here are things to avoid. Do not throw chemicals into the biodigester, plastic materials, and even diapers. These materials may clog pipes and chemicals will definitely interfere with the action of the bacteria.

Also, bacteria are only able to decompose organic materials.
