MERU PRISON HUMAN WASTE BIOGAS PLANT
A PILOT PROJECT TO GENERATE BIOGAS USING HUMAN WASTE
The main objective of this project was to use the prisoners' waste to produce biogas that could be used as cooking fuel and cut down the cost incurred in buying of firewood initially used as fuel to cook for the prisoners.
However after completion, the project brought forth multiple benefits namely, treatment of the sewage waste in order to prevent waterborne diseases within the community, production of organic food for fish in the fish ponds, a cleaner environment realised through better sanitation practices thus ensuring that the prisoners do not fall sick as often as before.
The prison has 1,200 inmates and about 300 saffs and it's in the Eastern provinnce of our country Kenya.
