Home bioreactor designed with Warm water reticulation as heating, and insulated for a mild winter (0 to 14 degrees C). Aim to use food waste of family of 6, plus green waste from 1800m2 of land. Likely to need two IBC for digestion. Aim to produce 1.2 to 2.4 m3 of gas a day, and produce 6 to 11 kWh of heat Aim to control pH, temperature and automatic heating using Arduino.
Looking to trial as a possible solution for Trade waste in local horticultural and boutique brewing industries, plus provide gas for water heating.
Currently the most southerly digester on the map.
