Abstract: An absolute analysis was brought on the outcome of fusing the biogas production in an anaerobic digester by targeting the impeller geometry and mixing modes. Agitation, the most prominent factor, undeviatingly determines the consequences of an anaerobic digester operated at higher solid content. The sustainability of homogeneity of substrate for solid liquid phase and the uniformity of microbial community hinge on agitation in an anaerobic digester. In spite of having clash of views on mixing intensity and sort of mixer usage multifaceted studies have been directed rendering worthful results.
