Is there no way by which retention time can be shortened in a digester?

[@IntuitiveLearn]

Your question has many scenarios. let me discuss one by one
case 1. less retention time by design
Ans. we can easily do this
(i) by increasing flow rate
(ii) by decreasing volume of digester
case 2. decrease digestion time and thereby decrease retention time
(i) increase temperature
(ii) control growth parameters by adding specific bacteria
this may require research
let me know which scenario you are thinking

[@BunmiOlaseni]

The last scenario involving introduction of inoculant and using biofilm carrier to increase bacteria population.

[@IntuitiveLearn]

Well !!! you know the answer.

[@BunmiOlaseni]

Do I?

[@IntuitiveLearn]

OK.. I didn't get your question then. Can you further elaborate
