I just wonder how the macertion process works and if it also can handle substrate like kitchen waste, grass clippings, straw etc.? It won't handle fibrous waste like straw, etc, without chopping it up further. (Using a garbage disposer, maybe?) A garbage disposer seems to be well suited for this ( ...

How does the human waste enter the digester ? I mean is the raw substrate somhow mixed/stirred before entering beeing pumped into the digester ? Right now, I have a 1-1/2 pint/flush marine toilet emptying into a small holding tank (holds about 1-1/2 gallons) under the floor. I pump this out every o...

but leave the methane-phase as a CSTR Sorry for the question, but what does CSTR mean ? I am not familiar with this term ... The 2-stage design is able to culture distinctly different populations in each stage solely by controlling the retention time in each. A 2-3 day retention time in the first s...

On mine (using both Firefox and IE), it increases from 95.66 to 101.46 cf/day. I'm going to guess that the problem is with font size or browser display. What browser are you using? Guess you are right - I use firefox on linux and it seems that the first digit (01.46) is cut off due to the larger fo...

I'm not sure of your question. The model assumes 95 degF reactor temperature, and that some percentage of the biogas generated will be used to maintain that temperature above ambient. If you will look under the section "Gas Usage", the item "Remaining Heat available for use" is the net available *a...

I have only used it with human waste (augmented with kitchen wastes of varying quality and quantity), and have never performed detailed analysis of either the composition of the wastes or of the biogas. That said, with these feedstocks, total gas volume produced correlates well with the model, at t...

two-stage digester and plug-flow design ?
Hello, Have just found your this site here and must say that it is really very interesting - great job ! It's the first time that I come across the two stage digester design where the acidogenic and the methanogenic phase are seperated. I wonder if the same effect is achieved in a plug-flow digester...
