Digester
A digester feed pump forces water to a boiler. It works by transferring cool water to the boiler to be heated.

Methane digester
Denis faced several issues with the steam digester, primarily related to its safety and reliability. The apparatus was prone to explosive failures due to the high pressure of steam and the potential for blockages, which could lead to catastrophic accidents. Additionally, he struggled with the material of the digester itself, as it was susceptible to corrosion and wear over time, complicating maintenance and efficiency. These challenges made it difficult for Denis to fully harness the potential of the steam digester for his experiments.
•When methane is in the digester, it can be burned to heat your water or generate electricity. It is like lighting a match inside a balloon. You don't get the smells or the odors, meaning less fossil fuels are burned.

A doggie digester helps break down pet waste naturally, reducing odor and waste volume. It also helps fertilize the soil and prevents harmful bacteria from contaminating water sources.
This is a digestion process in the absence of oxygen. This process however do not take place in the living body.
