What's a Bio Digester?

Anaerobic digestion is a sequence of processes by which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen. The process is used for industrial or domestic purposes to manage waste or to produce fuels.

How does a bio digester work?

A biodigester system utilizes organic waste, particularly animal and human excreta, to produce fertilizer and biogas. ... The fermentation process is anaerobic, i.e., it takes place without oxygen, and the bacteria responsible for decomposition are methanogenic (i.e., they produce methane, also known as biogas).

How does a biodigester septic tank work?

The biodigester septic tank is based on biodegrading processes. This is the breaking down of organic waste matter into carbon dioxide, methane and water. The bacteria in the tank feed on the organic wastewater and the dark water as they come in. As a result, they become water and gas.
