From gcr@rhealiving.com Wed Feb 3 20:32:45 1999 Date: Tue, 2 Feb 1999 09:06:51 -0600 From: Donna Fezler To: aquaponics@townsqr.com, 'Organic List' , 'Permaculture' , 'poultry list' , 'PDC' , 'Sustainable AG list' , 'ratite list' Subject: biodigesters resource in US [ The following text is in the "iso-8859-1" character set. ] [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set. ] [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ] Yesterday I received "Methane Recovery from Animal Manures, the Current Opportunities Casebook" from Philip Lusk at Resource Development Associates. If you are considering anaerobic digestion, this is a great resource. Funded by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Co. , this report coves the current status of biodigesters in the US and gives detailed financial and through-put case reports on currently operating ones. These are all farm units with capital costs of $80,000-$500,000, which is a bit large for a small farm application, but the demand isn't there yet for smaller units. It gives an excellent history of the problems encountered with the units and how they were solved or why the units were abandoned. There is also a list of consulting engineers and companies.
