<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<br>
<br>
I would like to know if anyone knows or have a good estimate of the cost of the
following small scale biodigesters:<br>
<br>
1- Plug-flow polyethylene biodigester type (like the ones in Bolivia) (between
1-10 m3).... I don't know if it's possible to build one with such small size
like 1m3<br>
2- Chinese fixed-dome (between 1m3-10 m3)<br>
3- ARTI type biodigester (1-2 m3)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Ivo Oliveira<o:p></o:p></p>
