A toilet-linked biogas (TLBG) system eliminates the task of frequent emptying of faecal sludge from septic tanks or twin pits and dumping it in drains or landfill sites.
Under it, a toilet is connected to a biogas digester using a PVC pipe. Faecal slurry flows into the digester with gravity, following which, cattle dung, water, and kitchen waste is regularly added to it to produce biogas, which is then used by families as cooking fuel or for other purposes like heating water.
