Re: DIG-L: dry digester for cattle manure capacity 10000m3/day

["Andre de Boer (Work)" <A.de.Boer@Novem.NL>]

Dear all!

For a co-digestion project I read a claim for the energy production. It
concerns a 36.000 (metric) tons digestion:
31.500 ton pig manure
4.500 ton shoulder grass (grass from road sides)

They claim a biogas production of 1.998.927 m3, being an average production
of 55m3/ton. This seems me to be a high value.

Question:
* is this a reasonable value?
* how do you calculate this?
