A biodigester is intended to produce biogas. This is made possible by a closed chamber that receives manure, food waste and other organic substrates, confining this material so that its composition results in gas and other by-products.
The biodigester can be a tank, a box or a trench lined and covered with an impermeable material. The important thing is that, with the exception of the inlet and outlet tubes, the biodigester is completely sealed, creating an anaerobic environment (without the presence of oxygen) where anaerobic bacteria degrade the organic material, transforming it into biogas and biofertilizer, as the biodigester stabilizes organic matter and improves the use of minerals.
For the fermentation of organic matter to occur, these bacteria need a favorable environment for their growth and development:
Biodigesters have many benefits in different areas of society. They are the main ones:
