The Biodigester process
The Benefits of The Biodigester
Taking care of our planet
Help reduce excess food waste - by using your waste to produce a clean Biogas and fertilizer. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by producing your own green energy source.
Liquid fertilizer
Use the organic fertilizer directly to your garden to increase yield production, or share with nearby farmers to encourage community farming.
Save money
Generating and consuming your own biogas in a cooking stove, water heater, or even an electric-powered generator will dramatically reduce your monthly bills.
​

DON’T FEED THE BIODIGESTER TOO
MUCH OF THESE THINGS
-
Chicken feces (up to 50%).
-
Fats, oils, grease (up to 25-30%).
-
Citrus fruit (up to 2 peels a day).
-
Roots, stalks.
-
Compostable diapers (1 per day, depending on brand).
Climate
A suitable climate is anywhere where the average day/night temperature is at least 20C/68F.
When the temperature drops below this, you can:
​
-
Insulate the digester (with a suitable floor).
-
Place in a greenhouse (with ventilation).
-
Add a water heater.
-
If you still have some flammable gas production, reduce to hald the amount of income.
Remember: following the above suggestions does not guarantee that your Biogas Digester will produce gas as usual in colder climates.
