An idea for your heater solution, someone below mentioned putting a 4x8 steel plate on the ground, then a layer of foam then the gas plant on top of that, and assuming your greenhouse holds heat relatively well, one thing you could possibly do is have a solar panel and a small battery inside to power a system that would automatically light and extinguish a burner inside the greenhouse powered off of the gas, and on top of the burner you could place a ceramic planter upside down that would turn on to maintain a set range of temperatures

Part 2 of same advice. Put a piece of sheet metal on the ground. Approximately 4 by 8. Then go buy a piece of pink 2in thick styrofoam insulation. Put it on top. Then put down the waterbed heater. It has its own thermostat. And when warm only uses 1/2 an amp. Per hour. Now you are insulated from the ground. Saving power. And preventing any creepy-crawlies. From tunneling up and putting a hole in your bag in future

I am wondering if you are not missing a step in the gray water filtration. The Earth ship homes use a sand and gravel filtration bed to remove solid particles and clean the water before they send it to the plants our out side to water outdoor plants. It is done by gravity and placing the bathroom in a higher position to allow for that type of flow.

The how did step of filtration maybe do some of the stale odor of recycling the water. There is an additional con that comes along with it and that governmental agencies do not want you to mix black water with gray water and they wanted to be put Into a holding tank which in this case would be your bio digester. I realize the two systems are not comparable. Yet I am intrigued by being able to produce gas when prices are skyrocketing for those of us who use natural gas.I am going to be moving from a 70 foot mobile home built in 1972 and remodeled in 1992 To a tiny house of 642 ft.²

One can easily switch one of their LP burners to biogas by replacing the orifice with a wider guage to allow for more oxygen to gas mixture. The biogas burner is not a required add-on to the biogas package. Some users buy a single or dual burner LP camp stove, swap the orifices out and use it to cook on the patio or deck during the summer months. Others have had success using biogas for their hot water tanks. Again this requires some modifications. Rather than messing with the onboard RV water heater, a standalone instant hot water boiler is used either outside or in the shower utilizing a valve to select the between the instant hot water boiler converted for biogas use vs onboard RV lp/electric water heater. When constructing an outdoor shower one must be mindful of the gray water. One simply cannot, despite using organic soap, let the water run off. This gray water still requires treatment. There are many beneficial, simple, and inexpensive means to recycle and/or treat this gray water. Otherwise you'll end up causing a stink and polluting the surrounding soil. There is even the potential of contaminating nearby streams/springs, and yes even a shallow aquifer tapped as drinking water source. Untreated gray water is full of harmful bacteria, skin cells, oils, and traces of human feces. This harmful gray water soup must be cleansed or treated to kill off harmful bacteria and viruses. Using tanks and plants is the most effective and economically feasible option to treat this water before using it for irrigation or other purposes. Others planning to buy their own biogas kit need to prep the ground to ensure the weight of the digester does not cause punctures. Rocks, sticks, and even dried thorns are potential sources of leaks once the digester is fully loaded. The soil will compress exposing the digester to sharp objects just under the surface. Organic matter decaying under the digester will degrade the material. Clear the site and lay a 3 inch layer of sand or pea gravel. Pea gravel will minimize the growth of plant material growing within the containment. Either dig the ground out and line it with heavy duty landscape fabric/weed barrier and fill with sand/pea gravel. Or build a box and line it with the landscape fabric and fill with sand or pea gravel. Do not use tarp fabric as a substitute for landscape fabric as the tarp won't allow water to drain. Cheap landscape fabric/weed barrier will begin to deteriorate under the weight and heat of the digester within just a few years. Cheers!

I think that this is the sort of technology that should be put in to all homes as they are being built, where a septic tank acts as your reservoir for waste prior to being connected to the sewerage. Making use of our waste in such a way makes absolute sense, especially as burning methane converts it to the lesser greenhouse gas: carbon dioxide plus water.

Hey Bro, Have you considered a woodchip/sawdust compost pile for cool weather heat. If you are covering it with a greenhouse anyway then putting a layer of plastic sheeting up against the system and making a compost pile around the system. If you didnt have electricity that is one possible way to maintain heat. I will be testing compost for heat starting this fall. I plan to do a couple of large piles and testing it for heating air in my greenhouse and heating water. I want to create a radiant floor heating with an insulated concrete slab so even in winter you walk in the greenhouse and the floor is warm to the touch compared to outside. Sorry so long a response, I am just very excited about being self sufficient and your biogas video is one of the best reviews Ive seen so far on this system, thank you.

I think it’s terrific that the toilet is low. I’m a specialist in pelvic floor dysfunction and many people of all ages have chronic constipation because the 90 degree sitting posture tightens the muscles of the pelvic floor, crimping off the lower colon.

Thanks for sharing your setup! I've been excited about the idea of home biogas & kicking around ideas for setting up one of these units. Thinking of putting it in an attached hothouse with a heatsink foundation so it doesn't necessarily have to be located in full sun. The hothouse can also provide heat to the house and help prewarm water for washing. My plan is to use rainwater (cistern--we get a lot of rain here) and use that for flushing, have graywater going out to growing beds but you make some good points about the recycling. I was a bit worried about adulterants in the graywater maybe interfering with the digestion process. Curious about whether standard (eco) toilets can be plumbed to it and standard gas line plumbed off it. We have a lot of cats and expect the corn litter will help feed the digester, as well as any scraps not suitable for composting. It's such an exciting field, and although the concept has been around for years these well-thought-out units seem to be making it accessible for all.

It might help if you replaced most of your detergents with a biodegradable soap, and run it through a sand filter prior to using it to flush your toilet to avoid disrupting the methane digestor. Obviously using gray water on your plants isn't the end of the world but reusing it might help prevent your water source from drying up during a drought. Also you should probably treat the liquid that drains from a methane digestor like this the same way you would treat water from your septic tank with a leach field or an aerobic filtration system.

How is your digester working haven't seen updated videos lately. My Digesters are not running cause of the cold air.

Hi Lucidus, and thanks for another informative video. "Planning to switch to Hydrogen instead of propane" peaked my interest and I looked for your video on that but found none. Could you please elaborate on that? You're planning to burn H2 instead of Propane? Where are you going to 1) get it from and 2) store it? 3) Same burner as for methane and propane? Thanks.

This is great! I thought you cannot combine sewage and kitchen waste on biodigesters, bec. most actually show a biodigester exclusively for kitchen wastes and another biodigester for sewage.

If sewage goes into the methane digestor you should treat it like the liquid that flows out of a septic tank, and it should not be used to water any vegetables or crops. If you only use food scraps it is usually ok to use to fertilize non riot vegetables.

grass clippings are effective at trapping heat and moisture within thick layers or piles...so cover the biotank in grass clippings and add the green house as well would fix the heat problem

the heat would be generated from the grass composting - and that can get quite hot indeed. That would essentially be composting the plastic of the biogas tank I think - to keep it warm enough. Might as well just have a compost pile like JOhn Jenkins does for his humanure composting in the winter time. It's supposed to be aerobic bacteria in that case. If the grass heat was NOT aerobic then it would be off gassing methane which is a CO2 equivalent emission.

LucidusLux; They should pay you for your review! Serious! I’m wondering if I could make something like this system (to replace the bag?) I’m all about the 3 RRRs, and love the idea, just with an already existing container? Also, I’ve done-lived in-sold a lot of trailers. I’m a retired code certified home inspector-renovation guru-house flipper :-) Thank you.

Do you get range anxiety with the gas? Do you get nervous when using gas thinking you won’t have enough for some other more important time? I hope that makes sense.

Can you use this with a gas heater for keeping a greenhouse toasty in colder climates? Is it enough to keep itself warm and the greenhouse too? That would be cool. What if you run out of gas pressure; will the flame creep back into the bag or do you have a valve that stops flow of the pressure drops too much (preventing explosion)?

When putting in compost into the digester, does it need to be shredded or can you use just lawn clippings, leaves, kitchen scraps?
