| The waste will be run through a methane digester, a tank in which bacteria break down the feces to create methane. |
| There should also be a small tube or hole covered with a weighted valve to prevent the danger of bursting the digester. |
| In the digester, a big stainless steel container, a solution of sodium or potassium hydroxide is poured over the carcass. |
