The Quality Requirements for Small-Scale Low-Pressure Biodigester in Indonesia: Developing Indonesian National Standards and Addressing Consumer Needs

Abstract

: The small-scale low-pressure biodigester is emerging to meet the energy needs of small households. It is important to standardize the biodigesters primarily to protect consumers and provide good quality biogas. The purpose of this research was to determine the quality requirements for the small-scale low-pressure biodigester. The research was conducted using interviews with respondents who are biogas practitioners. Questions from the questionnaire related to the quality parameters of biodigesters. The result generally showed that more than 80% of respondents accepted the quality requirements proposed. Furthermore, the quality requirements from this research will be proposed as the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) .
