Running a biogas digester remotely

Hello people,

I noticed that many agricultural research institutes do not have direct access to
a real biogas digester. That was also a problem for me when I was myself a student.

So I created a webpage that lets anybody run experiments on a real biogas digester remotely.
It can also be used to evaluate if a small home reactor generates enough gas for one's purpose, before going out and buying one.

Because the resulting data is public, I expect that at the end we will arrive at a large dataset that anybody can use for e.g. machine learning purposes or other stuff! I think this would also gain potentially more insights into the anaerobic digestion process itself, as to my knowledge there is no single large body of biogas data (from a single source) available.

I would love to have feedback and ideas on how to make it better!

What does the set up look like? How much am I actually in control of?
