in the world. More than 90% of worldwide biodigesters are of this type. In contrast, thermophilic digesters are less than 10% of digesters in the world, as it's more difficult to maintain the higher temperatures in a treatment plant, and they typically perform worse at separating liquids out of the sludge. Mesophilic digesters are used to produce
