How much biogas does an IBC System produce (from Facebook)

Submitted by Nick Chase on

Abe Connally Thank you! I have a lot of animal manures (poultry and rabbit, mostly), which are probably not as good as food waste, though we have a bit of that, too.

Thomas Henry Culhane 500 liters is an hour on a single burner medium flame average. That is about two kilos of food waste for the digester, about a bucket per digester mixed with warm water. Animal wastes produce a hundred times less gas but great sources of bacteria. Trick is to mix them. Can't go wrong that way.
