I'm thinking about building one of these fed from a macerating toilet: http://www.appropedia.org/Open_Source_Solar_CITIES_biodigestor_system

The overflow will go into the existing septic tank, but I guess it could be composted carefully with all the usual pathogen caveats.

Anyone else making gas on a small scale?

Thanks

Sam

Did you ever build this? Realise it's an old post but I'm thinking of doing something similar and would like to know your experience. Thanks

The Open Source Ecology Seed Eco home has this set up. Here's the OSE wiki page. I don't think Marcin Jakubowski is very active on Permies but you can find him on Facebook.
