Data:

200lb pig produces 13lbs manure/day

Density of pig manure= approximately 108 lb/ft3
Assumptions:
T= 30 days
Cylindrical digester (excluding the balloon gas holder)
Height of digester = 1m
Diameter of digester = 1m
Compute for the daily amount of dung/animal/day (L):

Calculation based on the number of pig (daily feeding of manure):

Assume 1:5 ratio of pig dung to water
