This 101 article on design factors that impact digester tank sizing and biogas production highlights the advantage of being conversant in different scientific units. A key to properly sizing and modeling a biogas digester’s performance is having a good handle on a variety of design factors and waste characterization parameters that play into how large biodigesters must be for a given project and how much gas they will likely make. It is also helpful to be conversant in several different scientific units. This 101 article starts with a quick tutorial on the core design parameters that are in play in the anaerobic digestion process before walking through an example of how to calculate digester sizing and gas yield.
