What is a Composting Toilet and How is it Different From a Biogas Toilet (Bio-toilet)
The question of what is a composting toilet and how is it different from a biogas toilet (Bio-toilet) has been asked of us several times recently. It’s the composting toilet vs bio-toilet debate, that arises from an article we wrote almost 2 years ago in which we described a biogas “bio-toilet”. That’s an eco-toilet which […]
Anaerobic Digester Plant Explosions – Explosive Risk at Biogas Facilities
