BIODIGESTORS

The idea of the research presented in this book arose from the constant questions I asked about how to apply my academic knowledge in a practical and accessible way something that could actually make a difference in the community because I was often reflecting on the fact that I was completing one of the courses considered to be the most difficult (chemistry) but at the same time not knowing how to apply all this academic knowledge in a pragmatic way. Facing these conflicts I started to research the destinations given to the waste. This is because if I could produce something useful from something useless that is from leftovers I would certainly be applying my knowledge in one of the most noble and elegant ways possible. That was how I came to know about the technology of biodigesters and with the support of my family I undertook the construction of a biodigester in the municipality of Iracema-CE which is still in operation today and whose construction I detail in this work demonstrating its simplicity and accessibility.
