Imagine… the leftover food in your kitchen, rotten vegetables, fruit peels and wet waste that goes in the dustbin… what if that becomes the gas in your home’s stove? It may sound strange like a story from a science-fiction film, but an IIT engineer from Pune has completely turned this unique idea into reality.
While people across the country are troubled by the rising prices of LPG cylinders and the hassle of refilling, this man has been cooking food at his home for the last 7 years without spending a single rupee and without buying any gas cylinder. Behind this incredible success lies an indigenous but smart scientific device, which converts waste into clean fuel. Now this revolutionary idea is becoming increasingly viral on social media.
Pune engineer Priyadarshan’s great invention: What is ‘Vayu’ biogas system?
IIT engineer from Pune Priyadarshan Shastrabuddhe Keeping in mind environmental protection and home energy, it has designed a very special portable system, which it ‘Vaayu’ (Vaayu Biogas Digester) Name given. Priyadarshan has been living a completely LPG-free lifestyle for the last 7 years.
-
Mathematics of gas from waste: Priyadarshan collects about 11 kg of organic waste (wet garbage) daily from his and nearby houses.
-
Production of 800 liters of gas: This 11 kg garbage goes into the system made by them every day. 800 liters pure cooking gas This converts to 1.5 kg, which is more than enough to cook three meals for a typical family. That is, the waste which earlier used to spread pollution in drains and dumping grounds, has now become valuable kitchen fuel.
How does this entire system work? (How Vaayu Biodigester Works)
Vayu biogas system can be installed very easily in the backyard, garden or terrace of the house. Its working process is very natural and scientific:
-
Waste Input: First of all, wet kitchen waste like vegetable and fruit peels, stale or leftover food, tea leaves etc. is put in the inlet of this system.
-
Bacterial Decomposition: The natural bacteria present inside the tank slowly start decomposing that organic waste without any chemicals.
-
Formation of methane gas: During this natural process huge amounts of Methane Gas Is generated.
-
Balloon Storage and Direct Stove: The produced gas is stored in a special safety balloon installed above the system. This balloon is directly connected to the gas stove of your kitchen through a pipe, which provides clean energy with blue and bright flame.
This desi jugaad reached hundreds of homes and commercial restaurants
This idea of Priyadarshan Shastrabuddhe is not limited to just a personal jugaad, but is now taking the form of a big movement. Currently in India more than 350 houses This domestic biogas system is working successfully in India.
-
Saving of 2500 cylinders annually: Due to the air systems of these 350 houses in the country, almost Huge savings of 2,500 LPG cylinders This is happening, due to which both the environment and the country’s foreign exchange reserves are being protected.
-
Big changes in hotels: This technology is being used commercially in a big restaurant in Pune, where the hotel’s food is being cooked from the 60 to 100 kg food waste generated daily.
-
Completely LPG Free: A user named Angad Patwardhan, a resident of Pune, said that by adopting this system from the year 2022, he has become completely LPG free and his gas expenditure is now ‘zero’.
Why is this the biggest need of India’s future?
According to a government report and global data, every person in India dies on an average annually. 55 kg food waste Produces (food waste). When this waste goes to the dumping yard, poisonous gases are produced that harm the environment.
If every citizen or society of the country adopts this biogas technology, not only will the monthly budget of every household be saved and there will be freedom from expensive cylinders, but the mountains of garbage will be erased from the cities and our mother earth will also get great relief from pollution. This ‘Vayu’ project of Priyadarshan proves that sustainable living (Eco-Friendly Living) is the only and most beautiful path to the future.
