At a biogas fair in germany, I have seen such a system offered by a german
company. They just fill solid wastes in a tunnel made of plastic foil (dry
fermentation). I cannot remember the name but it is one of the biggest
manufacturer of such foils, which are normally used for silage. Maybe one of
the readers can give you more informatins about it.
I wonder how they can sell it in germany because of the lack of explosion
prevention - but for agricultural biogas plant there are not many
regulations, compared to plants in the industry.
