RE: DIG-L: CHP suppliers

[Marty Climenhaga <mclimenhaga@macviro.com>]

Hi Richard
I was in the UK a couple of years ago and we were talking to a UK company 
about providing a CHP for a digestion plant, but unfortunately I can't 
remember the name of the company. They were a dealer for Caterpillar and 
did a lot of landfill gas projects. If you go to CAT's website and look for 
the local contact you should hopefully find them. I'll also see if I can 
find their name among my old notes.

Richard,

some of the German manufacturers you find on a list (pdf file) at 
www.biogas.org, the web page of the German Biogas Association.

To give you an idea of the price you must calculate at an average of 700 to 
800 Euro per kW installed capacity. This includes automatic controlling of 
the unit. The installation and the housing goes extra.

If you want I could send you a specialized article on the subject of on 
farm chp-plants in German. Perhaps someone in the list has time to 
translate it.

In Germany the prices of digestors in the size of 350 m3 are ranging from 
150 to 250 Euros per m3 depending on the material with vertical completly 
mixed digestors and between 400 and 500 Euros per m3 with plug flow 
digestors.

Best Regards

Michael Kottner

  Thanks to those for the info on the use of straw in digestion.

  Who are the main manufacturers and suppliers of CHP units and anaerobic 
digesters in the UK and Europe?

  I need to find the approximate cost of a 15, 30 and 60 kW CHP unit, and a 
350 m^3 CSTR digester for the digestion of pig waste.

  Any other advice or suggestions on the specified dimensions would be 
greatly appreciated,
