Given anything under the sun, what makes the best material to “run” a farm biodigester?
Co-digestion is important part of the anaerobic digestion and the amount of methane yield. One of the better materials to feed the biogas plant Fats Oil & Greases or FOG, but it again depends on the quality of the FOG. It has been found at times, by adding as little as 5% to annual ryegrass straw (ARS) and dairy manure blend, you may increase methane potential by 60-90% over dairy manure alone. The best thing to plan of action is always perform a Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) of the feedstock that are available in the area and then determine the ideal mix. The BMP is an analytical took that describes the volume of methane that can be produced from a given amount of volatile solid for a particular feedstock. In your view, how is a biodigester part of a larger, sustainable permaculture strategy? Keeping any kind of waste out of our landfills and taking advantage of a technology that can be used to benefit the community and the environment. It is about doing the right thing and livi
