Training for Making a Portable Gas Container In Taduken Raga Biogas Group Sinembah Tanjung Muda Hilir Subdistrict Deli Serdang Regency

Abstract

The Taduken Raga Biogas Group, Sinembah Tanjung Muda Hilir District, Deli Serdang Regency in 2018 participated in the biogas procurement project from the Ministry of Environment in collaboration with the University of North Sumatra. At that time, all of the project equipment was brought in from the center so that the Taduken Raga biogas group did not fully understand the technology. In 2018, there were around 20 families who used biogas for cooking. Then there was a problem so that gas production stopped. The main problem is that it is not clear about the technology, among others, that the biogas units must be routinely filled with waste including empty bunches, cow dung, chicken manure and household organic waste. If the community uses gas, then the community is obliged to fill the biogas units. Not all of the 20 households that use gas are pleased to routinely fill the biogas unit. This service has been carried out in the Taduken Raga biogas group in Sinembah Tanjung Muda Hilir Subdistrict, Deli Serdang Regency. In accordance with the results of the initial survey to the Taduken Raga group / location of the biogas unit, it was known that the group's desire was to be trained in how to make portable gas containers. With the gas reservoir, people who want to use gas must compensate, among others, in the form of labor participation or others. The gas storage is filled with gas from the biogas unit and brought to be installed in the people's houses which provide compensation. Previously, gas was flowed communally so that both those who participated and those who did not uniformly received gas. Target activities are: 1) The public knows more clearly about biogas technology 2) The community knows how to make portable gas containers.
