Abstract
Organic matter digesting apparatus and methods are provided that can include a digestion tank operatively coupled to a vertically aligned gas collection tower and methods that can include providing a biodigesting apparatus; inputting organic matter into the biodigesting apparatus; initiating the biodigesting apparatus; and outputting water, methane gas, and solid carbon-based material.
Claims6
A method for digesting organic matter comprising:
- providing a biodigesting apparatus comprising a digestion tank in fluid communication with a gas collection tower, the tower extending vertically and directly from an upper portion of the digestion tank, and the digestion tank being aligned at an angle other than normal from the bottom of the tower;
- inputting organic matter into the digestion tank;
- initiating the biodigesting apparatus;
- and
- outputting water from the digestion tank via a manifold of conduits extending to within the digestion tank, each conduit linearly spaced apart from each other along a sidewall of the digestion tank;
- outputting methane gas via the tower;
- and
- outputting solid carbon-based material via an auger coupled to the lower end of the digestion tank.
