DIG-L: Biogas from Wastewater Treatment Plant



 
Can anyone tell me what the salient differences are between biogas that is produced from a farm based digester and gas that is produced from an anaerobic digester located at a wastewater treatment plant?  The plant is located in a town of about 8,000.  It already has an anaerobic digester and is considering installing a microturbine to run on biogas.  I am more familiar with farm based digesters, but I assume that a municipal wastewater treatment plant would produce a gas with different contaminants.  For example, would siloxanes be a problem at a wastewater plant where they are not particularly of concern for a farm based system?
 
Thanks for the help.
 
Jeff
