BSF BREEDING CHAMBER ( BY ARTIFICAL LIGHT )
Black soldier flies are non pest insect which can be used for reducing the organic waste and helpful in preventing the diseases spreading from unmanaged organic waste.
A colony of about 10,000 larvae can process roughly 5 to 10 kilograms of organic scraps. therefore, producing more larvae we required a control environment of 27°C -30°C and 65 to 75% relative humidity.
To make larvae production free from climate dependent and hence the rate of reducing the organic waste, we required artificial chamber for breeding bsf.
Objectives AND Methodology
To design artificial chamber for BSF breeding by controlling temperature ( 27-30 degree centigrade) and relative humidity ( 65 -75%)
Methodology
- Study temperature and humidity data of pabal village
- Heat and mass transfer calculation
- Selection of heating source and humidification source
- Design artificial chamber for breeding
- Prototyping
- Test

Measured the dimension of prototype of artificial chamber and get the idea of size of heater to be required and installable . The size of the chamber is 30cm*30cm*60cm. The volume of section where eggs of bsf is lay is half of the total volume.
