Thank you, Manisha ji - for sharing your initiative of this Bio-digester for human excreta. Helpful indeed. For my proposed off-grid sustainable house I was planning for a composting toilet - where the excreta and urine both are directly collected in a drum made of wicker or thin bamboo etc. However that can be a bit uncomfortable for visitors and those not used to it. Had heard of this bio-digester earlier too, but I'm a bit skeptical on whether all solid material will be digested/converted into liquid effluent (which is of course nutrient rich). Anyways you have confirmed, it does. I will further talk to the manufacturers/suppliers.

Wonderful idea and execution. I'm a biomedical student frkm Sri Lanka I'm planning to moving to the environmental side as my career. I have this idea to plan a fully self sufficient home. A huge land with onsite renewable energy production/storage. Produce/Mini garden and a farm. All electronic appliances and a vehicle. So increasing efficiency and reducing wastage even through feaces is a huge issue. Because all the nitrogen, amonia and other minerals are packed in feaces. So i was looking around for a sustainable methodology to do this. You have provided a great starting point for my research. Just got to figure out how to get rid of pathogens and collect this methane. Eventhought it might be a tiny amount. With time it can compound to my carbon/methane footprint. Thank You very much.

*It's best if the gas can be captured in a BioGas baloon to be used for burning, cooking, powering Electric Genset or even CNG cars* For using it in car it will need to be compressed into a cng-cylinder using a simple compressor which is used to fill car Tyre (with air). Many people have a mental block of using poop-gas (biogas) for cooking... (just like putting rain water back in borewell is considered unclean) but that is how nature produces Methane Gas... by decomposed organic matter.
