How to Calculate the Size of an Anaerobic Digester Tank
Hi! This is a bonus track on Anaerobic Digestion. What we’ll do is we’ll calculate the size of a fixed-dome reactor for the example of a boarding school. Okay. This is the situation. A boarding school with 250 students and about 50 staff in a tropical climate. We have around 0.2 kg of wet waste, […]
Costs of Anaerobic Digestion and the Functions of a Biogas Business
The cost of anaerobic digestion plants varies greatly depending on their size and the feedstocks they use. Small-scale farm-based plants that use manure and are supplemented with purpose-grown crops to produce modest amounts of biogas are relatively inexpensive. They can function well, but as they require constant attention can be time-consuming to operate. Large, commercial […]
Chicken Litter Anaerobic Digestion
Poultry litter is organic waste such as dung, spilt feed, feathers, and bedding materials produced by chickens and turkeys. This material is high in plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. However the total composition will vary depending on the species of fowl, the amount of feed utilised, and the collecting method. Poultry litter […]

The Anaerobic Digestion Process
The anaerobic digestion (AD) process works by bacteria, which thrive in the absence of oxygen, breaking down the bio-degradable fraction of the waste to generate a stable deposit. This consequently aids to reduce hazardous emissions of dangerous greenhouse gases. That’s true, as biodegradable material which is just sent to garbage dump will give off a […]
Anaerobic Digestion: The Most Important Renewable Energy Source You May Not Have Heard of
