“…It is a well-established technology for the treatment of the organic fraction of various waste materials [10,11,13,[45][46][47][48]. Well documented attempts to use anaerobic digestion on OWHB date from the mid-nineteenth century, when digesters were constructed in New Zealand and India.…”

Organic waste (OW) management tackles the problem of sanitation and hygiene in developing countries and humanitarian camps where unmanaged waste often causes severe health problems and premature death. OW still has a usable energy content, allowing biogas production, potentially contributing to satisfy the local needs, e.g., cooking, lighting and heating. Digesters are the devices converting OW into biogas under anaerobic conditions. They are simple and effective solutions for the OW management in rural areas, humanitarian camps and remote developing regions, producing energy and fertilizers for local farming as residual. This paper describes the design and lab-test of a domestic OW management system integrating a waterless toilet with a small-scale digester producing safe biogas for local micro-consumption. Starting from people's needs and an extensive review of the current state-of-art technology, the proposed system's key innovation and strength is the combination of effectiveness and a very simple construction, set up and use, fitting with the rural conditions and raw materials available within the emerging countries. A small-scale prototype is assembled and lab-tested assessing the quantity-i.e., productivity-and quality-i.e., composition and methane content-of the produced biogas. The measured productivity in terms of specific biogas production (SBP) is of about 0.15 m 3 /kg SV and a methane content of about 74% in mass match the energy needs of domestic users, encouraging the spread of such systems in developing regions and rural areas.

“…Hindistan'da zirai atık, hayvan gübresi ve endüstriyel atıkların biyogaz potansiyeli 40.734 mm 3 /yıl ve biyogazın enerji değeri 25.700 MW olarak bulunmuştur [23]. Japonya'da hayvan gübrelerinin biyogaz üretim miktarı 60 m 3' lük bir termofilik reaktörde incelenmiş ve üretilen biyogazın 15 kW gücündeki jeneratörde elektrik üretimi için kullanılabilir olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır [24].…”
