Abstract

This research project aimed to design and create an affordable and locally- sourced biogas harvester for backyard livestock raisers. The device is called Compact Improvised Biogas Harvester (CIBiH) and is a more cost-effective alternative to the foreign-made inflatable biogas harvesters available in the market. The study used the CDDIR model, a 5-phase technological development process consisting of Conceptualization, Designing, Development, Initial Testing, and Refinement stages. The goal was to create a prototype that is more effective, cost-efficient, and readily available, eliminating the need for external sources of energy like electricity and fuel in the biogas harvesting process. However, the project still requires further evaluation to determine whether it meets industry manufacturing standards for mass production.
