The plant has a dome like structure built with bricks. A slum, of cowdung and water is made in the mixing tank from where it is fed into the digester. The digester is a sealed chanter in which there is no oxygen. Anaerobic Micro organisms that do not require oxygen decompose or break down complex compounds of the cow-dung slurry. It take a few days for the decomposition process to be complete and generate gases like methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen and hydrogen sulphide. The bio-gas is stored in the gas tank above the digester from which they are drawn through pipes for use.
