This (2012 edition) booklet is approximately 5,000 words long and approximately 24 pages with 9 diagrams. The booklet describes making an anaerobic digester using an oil drum and a rubber inner tube as the gas storage vessel as well as a larger continuous digester.

Methane can be made using simple apparatus and a process known as anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion is one of the most common biological procedures in nature, as the name implies, it means to carry or breakdown in the absence of air. Once you know the principles of this process it is possible to make biogas in small or large quantities from a variety of waste materials. The gas produced can be used for cooking and heating and even for running a gas engine.ContentsPreface About the editorBasic properties of methaneAnaerobic digestionModest experiment in methane gas productionSimple anaerobic digesterBatch digester constructionFurther informationBiogas websites and other informationAbout the publisherDisclaimer
