Tech/Engineering - Agriculture | | Portuguese term or phrase: biodigestor / biodigestão | Is this simply composter / composting? It seems to be but if you put the English and Portuguese terms together in google you get almost no matches. However, the terms "biodigester" and "biodigestion," although occasionally used in English, seem to be imports from other languages and not the correct or commonly used terms.
"No caso da utilização de biodigestores tem-se como vantagem a obtenção de biofertilizantes, a contribuição com o meio ambiente através do tratamento dos dejetos animais e restos de vegetação, a redução de vermes, insetos, ratos e a obtenção do biogás"
"No caso da agricultura orgânica são levadas em consideração a necessidade de biofertilizante, a agregação de valor pela desidratação ou aplicação do selo orgânico, e o uso de biodigestores e secadores solares" |

WHAT IS BIODIGESTION?
The word Biodigestion, is derived from the Greek word Bios, meaning Life, and from the Latin word Digestione, wich means Digestion or Decomposition, or even the transformation of non absorbable matter, into other materials absorbable by living beings.
Scientifically, Biodigestion is a process of degradation, transformation or decomposition of vegetable and animal substances, (known as Organic Matter), carried out by living beings, like man, or even by micro-organisms and bacteria.
Many synthetic products made by man, can be biodigested, and these are known as Biodegradable Products.
The apparatus or implement or even the place where biodigestion can be processed, is called Biodigester, and depending on the type of system, biodigestion occurs in one of three different ways.
In the first one, biodigestion occurs inside the organism of an animal, wich eats and digests food, assimilates part of it, and excrets the other part in the form of feces. This is the Animal Biodigestion.
Feces, are the result of an incomplete biodigestion inside an animal biodigester.

| Grading comment Thanks for the help. I still think there must be another term, because these are NOT used very much. However, I realized from the context that they are not referring simply to compost and composting, they are referring specifically to equipment that produces biogas. But I couldn't find anything better than this literal translation.

2 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 | biodigestor / biodigestão composter / composting
Explanation:
These are the mostly used words in English, look:
5,870,000 English pages for composter composting.
Stick to the original terms. "Biodigestão" is a neologism not even registered by Aurélio dictionary, which brings "biodigestor", so defined:
(ô).
S. m. Quím.
1. Equipamento onde se realiza, controladamente, a fermentação anaeróbica de biomassa, a fim de obter biogás.
In English, though, the Webster's doesn't bring neither "biodigestor" nor "biodigestion" .
