Abstract: The present invention relates to a compact modular biogas plant system for decentralized conversion of organic waste into renewable energy and organic fertilizer through anaerobic digestion. The system comprises a feedstock preparation unit (1) processing kitchen waste, animal manure, and agricultural residues into slurry, introduced into an anaerobic digestion chamber (2) through a feedstock inlet pipe (11). The chamber (2) incorporates an agitator (3) driven by an agitator motor (13) for uniform mixing, with biogas accumulating in a biogas collection space (16) and discharged through a biogas outlet pipe (15) to a gas collection and purification unit (5) comprising a desulfurization tank (21), dehumidification tank (22), purification tank (25), and activated carbon filter (30), delivering purified biogas through a purified gas outlet pipe (31) to a biogas generator (6) or gas burner (7). Digested slurry exits through a digestate outlet pipe (12) to a digestate separation unit (8), producing liquid bio-slurry in tank (9) and solid compost in storage unit (10). A sensor and control unit (34) connected to a pH sensor (35), temperature sensor (36), gas pressure sensor (37), and gas composition sensor (38) automates control of agitator motor (39), control valve (42), and gas control valve (43) maintaining optimal digestion conditions.
