FAQ
HomeBiogas can be fed with human waste when connected to the Bio-Toilet that can be flushed up to 25 toilet flushes per day and up to 6 liters of food waste per day.
The system creates up to 700L of biogas per day and an effluent that needs to be treated using a mulch basin, drain field, or by connecting it to the sewage system according to the local regulations.
For more on this, please see our FAQ.
It will depend on the height distance between the Bio-Toilet and the HomeBiogas system:
- If the toilet bowl and the HomeBiogas system are at the same height: up to 5 meters / 16ft.
- If there is a 1-meter / 3ft difference between the toilet bowl and the HomeBiogas system: up to 10 meters / 32ft.
52W/53L/43H (cm) / 20W/21L/17H in.
The Bio-Toilet should be cleaned with natural cleaners or vinegar only. Do not use any chemicals – Specially bleach
The system can not be fed with toilet paper.
Anywhere where the average day/ night temperature is at least 20C/ 68F. When the temperature drops below this temperature, you can:
- Add a water heater
- Insulate the digester
- Place in a greenhouse (with ventilation on the top)
- Feed with half the daily recommended amount, if you still have flammable gas production
Remember: following the above suggestions does not guarantee that your system will operate in colder climates or temperatures.

For Installation:
- Flexible, reinforced sanitation hose (38mm/1.5in) of suitable length to connect toilet to system.
An odor-proof sanitation hose is recommended, especially for indoors toilet connections.- 8mm diameter bolts for mounting toilet bowl (length depending on flooring/platform).
- PVC pipes and fittings to connect fertilizer outlet to chosen effluent system (length depending
on toilet location – p15). - Optional ball valve for 38mm/1.5in pipe, to install after pipe for easier maintenance.
For Effluent Treatment
1st Option: Drain-field.
- large gravel (1-2” diameter), ~170 liter.
- fine gravel (0.25-0.75” diameter), ~25liter.
2nd Option: Mulch Basin.
- landscaping mulch, large wood chips, fine wood chips/sawdust.
Other Tools Required
- Power drill (holes for mounting toilet bowl).
- Screwdriver (flat) for hose clamps.
- Shovel for drain-field construction.
EFFLUENT
Effluent is the liquid that comes out of the fertilizer outlet of the HomeBiogas system after the waste has been digested to produce biogas. The effluent should be diverted directly to a treatment solution without the potential for user contact. There are 3 options to manage the effluent:
Option 1: Divert effluent back into your existing sewage infrastructure
Option 2: Divert effluent into your existing septic tank
Option 3: Construct a small-size Drain-Field in your backyard
What Parts/Materials are needed to construct a Drain-Field or Mulch Basin?
Drain-Field
• large gravel (1-2” diameter), ~170 liter.
• fine gravel (0.25-0.75” diameter), ~25liter.
Mulch Basin
• landscaping mulch, large wood chips, fine wood chips/sawdust.
Tools Required For Both Options
• Power drill (holes for mounting toilet bowl).
• Screwdriver (flat) for hose clamps.
• Shovel for drain-field construction.
