Özet: One of the major concerns of biogas plants can’t be operated economical and environmental sustainable manner. In order to produce biogas in rural areas, using anaerobic systems with high organic content of farm wastes can be able to remove these concerns. The production of biogas can then be used for cooking, lighting and heating. Biogas is a good alternative to kitchen gas cylinder. However, there is a lack of knowledge and experience available on design methods for these systems. Anaerobic digestion is generally economically applicable waste treatment systems for large farms (>100 cattle). However, majority of Turkey farms have less than 100 cattle, making this technology economically inaccessible to the vast majority farms. The objective of this study is to determine the economic viability of small scale anaerobic digester systems taking into account on domestic production conditions.
