    The document provides calculations for sizing a biogas digester for a household based on the number and type of animals. It calculates the total daily discharge in kg, total solids of the fresh discharge, required daily influent, and working digester volume based on a retention time of 60 days for temperatures below 30°C. Tables provide information on the daily discharge and total solids content for different animal types to inform the calculations. The sizing methodology is from research materials from the Biogas Training Center in China.
