Abstract

The small-scale digesters treating agricultural wastewater and producing energy are analyzed in order to explore different ways for increasing the efficiency of the systems. The analysis has shown that the small-scale digesters can provide methane and electricity to meet household needs resulting in increase in household income and decrease in water pollution and deforestation.
