You gotta love the extra work involved. The payback is pretty low when you factor in time and labor and the petroleum fuel needed to manage the process, mix and turn the manure, and dispose of the many tons of compost byproduct. A newer techology now emerging, pyrolization of the manures, sewage and garbage into diesel fuels for farm or road use or syngasses for electrical generation or valuable products like nitrogen fertiliser seems to me to hold more promise. The fact that there is little byproduct left over from pyrolization to dispose of is an advantage. larry in Iowa Making methane is a labor of love. You gotta love the extra work involved.
