[Digestion] FW: San Jose Anaerobic Digestion

After re-reading the document, I think he's making a distinction between "anearobic installations" and lagoon systems.  Are there more credible sources of information about installed systems available?  That would be nice to have.

thanks,

Erin,

 

I am not sure what subset of the industry Dennis Totzke is capturing, but the numbers are not reflective of all digesters in operation, either in the US or the countries mentioned.

Anaerobic Digestion is becoming more common in the United States as a tool for diverting food  and other waste from landfills this project in San Jose is a good example:

And with over 250 dairy digesters it's gaining some traction in the US among dairy operators

Dennis Totzke of Applied Technologies (http://ati-ae.com/)  puts together a technology overview for the Marquette seminar, and he was kind enough to share a copy with me when I visited their booth at the BioCyle Conference in April.  According to his research, the US has 610 anaerobic installations, there are 340 in Germany, 332 in china and 275 in Brazil, and there is a steady rate of expansion with approximately  of 100-150 non-lagoon digestion systems installed each year.  

 

This list is pretty quiet this summer, and I found the above articles interesting and thought I'd share them with the group.
