 Looks giant it will take all year to fill that bad boy the smell would be one for the books… can you grab any methane from that? 
 Approximately 40 cubic yards, I fill it in 7 hours. Anaerobic bacteria cause the smell, the purpose of this drum is to create a suitable environment for aerobic bacteria so no smell. Output is CO2, ammonia and water vapor. We will collect water initially approximately 200 gallons a day. Want to feed the rest to nitrification bacteria in a sulphuric medium to get some ammonium nitrate. But it is a project for the future need to stack some sats first :)
