Design and development of a compact high rate digester for rapid bio-methanation from a kitchen waste for energy generation

Urbanization all over the world has created serious problems of solid waste disposal. Increased population causes increased food consumption which directly leads to increase in the solid waste resulting from the processing of food and post consumption. The waste food from various sources such as houses, public places etc, include various costs in transporting plus they add up a disastrous green house gas in long term, from the dump sites. If these resources are used properly, it can produce many useful things such as energy, compost and monetary benefits. Aim of the research is to develop an integrated system: Micro Power House (MPH) based on natural non-conventional energy resources such as kitchen waste, solar and water, clean energy concepts.
