A plant for decomposing organic waste material (43) by bacterial action so as to generate combustible gas comprises a plurality of processing containers (11-14). Fresh waste material may be fed from a supply container (44) to any of the processing containers (11-14), and processed material may be discharged from each of these processing containers to any of the others, and finally processed material may be discharged from the system through at discharged conduit (68). The supply of fresh waste material from the supply container (44) to the processing containers (11-14), and transfer from partly processed material from one processing container to another is controlled by an electronic control device (109) based on empirical data and on values measured within the system by means of sensors (48, 49, 53, 70-77). So as to obtain an optimum gas production and/or a desired variation in the gas production with respect to time, and/or a desired degree of the composition of the waste material. |
