Abstract

Pasirmulya Village Bandung has a wastewater treatment plant that can be developed to serve as an alternative fuel for the biogas digester. Biogas has a great attracted by researchers in developing a renewable energy source to be used for residential. This process is designed to produce alternative energy to reduce the impact of fossil fuel uses. The design of biogas system is to utilize the use of wastewater treatment in current condition. Critical path methodis used to identify the critical activities in this project. The Biogas works using 16 components with critical paths or activities that must be done first. The project shows the critical path method preparation for bill of material – material purchases – Cutting 0.75-inch PVC pipe – piece of pipe assembly – plant the pipe at the land – pipe assembly with elbow PVC – cover and pipe assembly – stove assembly – biogas stove testing - quality check – project reporting and documentation with 8 hours total time activity in one day. This community service project was implemented and found the potential of using biogas system for residential purposes.
