Performance and comparative assessment of DRDO bio-digesters

The research aimed to understand and evaluate whether the standardisation of DRDO biodigesters as a product across DRDO biodigester technology licensees has achieved consistency in effluent quality irrespective of the differences in licensee products in terms of factors such as materials, immobilisa...
