[edit] Fixed Dome Biogas Plants
Fixed-dome plants are made with a sealed dome-shaped digester and displacement pit. Gas is stored in the upper part of the digester. As the production of gas starts, it rises to the top of the dome and the remaining slurry is pushed into the displacement pit. As the amount of gas collected increases so does the pressure and vice versa.
