First, an anerobic digester means "without oxygen". A compost pile is an aerobic digester. When you decompose organics without air, you produce methane and carbon dioxide. Composting produces only CO2 and lots of heat.
With an anaerobic digester, you get the energy as methane instead of heat. After dewatering the material from either process is the same.
My main business is Landfill Gas (anerobic) to Energy. We also do A-D for food waste diversion. And we also take the A-D gasses from waste water treatment plants.
