hi every bodyWe have just published a paper named :The influence of users' behavior on biogas production from low cost 
tubular digesters: A technical and socio-cultural field analysis
it is accesible for the next 50 days from this link: http://authors.elsevier.com/a/1R1XW3TGDpcgr9
later will be only accesible by the normal ELSEVIER conditions here: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0973082615000393 

we have monitored several digesters performance, and users (and no users) opinion about low cost tubular digesters in indigenous Aimara people in Bolivia, several of them working at 3800 masl.  the technical evaluation shows how the digester management seems to have a seasonal performance throughout the year according to the agricultural calendar. This means that families are more interested in using bioslurry in crops and agricultural improvements than in the use of biogas. The Bolivian government subsidy on liquefied gas seems to be one of the key issues to understand these results. Finally, data also reveals how the thermal behavior of tubular digesters adapted to cold climate that use a passive solar design, is similar to the thermal behavior of valley digesters, and therefore intends to add the same passive heating techniques for warm and tropical climates, to increase slurry temperatures and achieve a higher biogas production.
I hope you enjoy the paperkeep in touchjaime
