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.
