Angie, I would also be interested in seeing your report on small digesters.

Thank you,
Norma

  All,
  I am currently doing a report on approximately 20 small scale UK farm 
igesters, looking at various parameters and what makes a successful digester 
nstallation. Current 'industry' thinking is that digesters at this scale are 
ot economically viable.  However, the smallest of these has been running 
uccessfully for 20 years on an organic farm with 65 cows, saving thousands by 
sing the gas to heat the house and diary washings.  The average Uk dairy herd 
s about 112 cows.  Another one here has been running for more than 20 years, 
eating a very large manor house. Another interesting digester running for more 
han two years digesting slurry from cows bedded on woodchip and sand,, as well 
s chicken muck. It has an automatic degritting system and the digester does not 
ave to be stopped. 
   
  At this scale, the reason for the success of these systems are that they 
eparate the digestate which comes out of the digester, they use inexpensive and 
asily maintained gas mixing which means a low parasitic load (one is as little 
s 1watt/cubic meter), the loading is typically simple auger or gravity feed 
traight into the digester, the control system is very simple and the digester 
s integrated into the farmyard. Suitable cast iron boilers have lasted for 20 
ears and are still running. 
   
  If you are interested in the report, let me know and I can send a link/copy 
hen it is published. 
   
  Regards

    Charles-
   There's at least one small-scale digester of that size currently operating 
n the U.S. - at the USDA Beltsville Agricultural Research Center in Beltsville, 
D.  The dairy's herd size is roughly 125-130, with ~100 milking and producing 
anure at any given time (dry cattle are let out to pasture).  The digester was 
uilt in 1994 and was constructed as a continuous stirred-tank reactor.  I have 
entative plans to conduct research on this digester simultaneously with a 
ow-cost, pilot-scale digester project operating on the same waste-stream that's 
eing constructed by our lab group at the University of Maryland.  I don't have 
ntimate knowledge of the USDA CSTR's history, but I can tell you what I know.
    The digester was originally constructed for odor control as an upright, 
ylindrical concrete tank (I'm not sure enough of the designed HRT to give you 
nformation on it), and was later insulated with gunnite-coated styrofoam.  It 
perates on mechanically screw-press separated, scraped waste, and utilizes the 
iogas produced to power a boiler that circulates hot water through a conveyance 
ystem installed within the digester for heating;  a combined heat and power 
lectric generator was installed in the mid-2000s, but it has never been brought 
nline.  The digester's had a number of problems come up, including repeated 
logging of the supply lines (originally 3-4" ID, now 6"), the break down of the 
crew-press separator and supply pumps, and the corrosion of the boiler due to 
nadequate scrubbing.  To be fair, many of the problems associated with the 
igester are the result of fluctuating research interest, funds, management, and 
he lack of an effective biogas scrubbing s
ystem, but they exist all the same.  Currently, the digester is up and 
perating... although obviously not ideally.
    Although most of the digestion systems are covered lagoons, the AgSTAR 
ebsite contains a link to a Excel file detailing the digesters currently 
egistered in the EPA's system (look under "Farm Project Profiles").  A few of 
hem approximate the herd numbers you're interested in.
    As a side note, our research at the University of Maryland, together with 
esearch at Ohio State and the University of Wisconsin, is attempting to 
ntroduce smaller-scale, lower-cost systems in the U.S.  I gave a presentation 
n October on small-scale digestion and some of the current efforts that you can 
ind here.
    Good luck hunting!

    Greetings:
     
    I have two questions I am hoping someone has answers for:
    1.       Are there small farms with digesters in the United States? When I 
ay small farm I don?t mean 2-3 cows, I mean a farm with around 125 dairy cows, 
hich is the average herd size in Michigan. If so, where are they and what has 
een their experience with their digester? I suspect there probably are no small 
arms with digesters in the US, but I would really like to know. I have had 
umerous inquiries from farmers with small farms in West Michigan about putting 
n a digester on their farm. If my assumption is correct that there are no small 
arms with digesters, are there farms with comparable numbers of dairy cattle 
ith digesters outside of the United State? If so, where are they and what has 
heir experience been with their digester?
    2.       Has anyone had experience using a Rankine engine as part of an 
nergy producing system?
     
    Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide me.

    On Rankin cycle engines, we have followed it closely in Europe and the US.

   Charles and listers,
    The best source of information on AD in USA is the AgSTAR project run by EPA 
www.epa.gov/agstar/). They have a database of digesters, which includes a few 
mall ones. 
    They point to the Minnesota Project  (www.mnproject.org)  which is trying to 
oncentrate on biogas for small farms (125 cattle or less).

Hey Duncan (and the others),
thanks for your elaborate answer ! I'm sorry for being unspecific. Let me be a 
it more specific and take the kerosene conversion rate because the information 
n this one is the most inconsistent.
Assumptions
onsumption rate simple wick kerosene lamp; 0,01 liter kerosene per hour
                        Biogas lamp; 70 liters of gas per hour (specifications 
f the lamp that will be supplied: http://kingoni.en.ec21.com/Biogas_Lamp--3003470_3352352.html)
umen output of a simple wick kerosene lamp 7,8 lumen
                          biogas lamp; 50 lumen (not sure on this number as 
here is a large range for it right?!)
alculation
o 1 liter of kerosene is equivalent to 7000 liter gas. After correcting for 
umen output, 1 liter of kerosene is equal to 1,077 liter of gas
If i use calorific values i get the following result
1kilo kerosene = 46 mj/kg with a density of 0,95 kg/l so
1 liter kerosene = 43,7 mj/l
1m3 biogas is 22.5mJ
1 liter biogas = 0,0225 mJ

1L kerosene = (43.7/0.0225) = 1942,22L biogas

uite a difference hm probably because of the lumen i took for the biogas lamp 
nd the consumption rates?! do you have recommendations on these numbers?
Then another small question.. for anthracite charcoal i found a calorific value 
f 27mJ/kg, for lignite charcoal 15 mj/kg. I'm talking about charcoal that these 
ural african farmers simply make in their backyard. i assume i should take 15 
j/kg then right?! or even less?
Thanks again!

nderwerp: Re: [Digestion] Biogas conversation rates
Hi Loe
A few quick comments:
1. You can check equivalences yourself by looking up the calorific values 
heating values) of the three reference fuels. Go back to the raw data, rather 
han relying on the interpretations of others - who may well be biased. The data 
s readily available and it needs no more specialized knowledge to calculate 
quivalences than it does to calculate a currency conversion - which I am sure 
ou could do in your sleep! *
2. Some of these fuels (eg biogas, firewood) are q variable so all equivalences 
ould be best expressed as ranges. That might be one reason for the 
nconsistencies you mention. Make sure your source isn't based on biomethane - 
e purified biogas.
3. Rating biogas per so many hours of cooking is meaningless unless better 
efined - are you assuming an open gas ring, an enclosed oven or what**? Just 
ne burning at a time? What kind of food is being cooked - because some foods 
eed long, slow cooking? (Maybe a better yardstick would be a typical daily 
ousehold consumption.)
4. Rating biogas per so many hours of lighting is equally meaningless. How many 
ights? What output? A reasonable assumption for this application might be a 
ingle ~40W-equivalent to light a single room  - but state it.
* If that sounds unhelpful, it comes from long experience of university teaching 
 and exposure to a lot of "I am a student and I need someone to do my 
ssignment for me" requests! You'll learn more if you learn how to work it out 
or yourself.
** A well known problem here is that the poorest people often (though not 
lways) use the least efficient cooking methods - eg an open fire. A common site 
n urban Zimbabwe a few years ago was a pot suspended above an electric fire 
aid on its back!!!

ear biogas experts,
 am a 22 year old student from the Maastricht University where I am doing a 
achelor in International Business. I am currently doing an internship for a 
utch biogas company that is planning to sell systems in East Africa. I am 
eveloping a huge mathematical model that calculates - among other things - how 
ig (m?) a digester should be for those households. I want to determine this on 
he basis of the kilo?s of charcoal and firewood and liters of kerosene they 
lready use and also on the basis of cooking time and lighting hours. After 
tudying several articles from GTZ, SNV, and master or Phd. students? reports I 
ame to the following conversion rates and I was hoping you guys could give your 
pinion on it.

ource
Charcoal (kg) >> Gas (l)
500
GTZ article Biogas digest volume 1<http://www.gtz.de/de/dokumente/en-biogas-volume1.pdf>
TZ article Biogas digest volume 1
firewood (kg) >> Gas (l)
200
Kerosene (l) >> Gas (l)
1600

Lighting (hrs) >> Gas (l)

I am particularly concerned about the conversion rate from liters of kerosene to 
iters of biogas. The results I found online don?t seem to be very constant. I 
ried to do some calculations myself but I have no idea how to calculate this 
my background is (micro-) finance) so I was hoping you could shed some lights 
n these numbers!!
ind regards,
oe Franssen Maastricht University student
