METHANE RECOVERY FROM ANIMAL MANURES: THE CURRENT OPPORTUNITIES CASEBOOK that the system comes with a performance bond equal to the full value of the facility. The performance bond is the first of its kind issued in the United States. It is combined with a performance warranty that guarantees all commodity outputs as stated in the design analysis for a 5- year extendable period, effective immediately at system startup. Startup of this digester is expected in spring 1999. There is also some movement toward the development of centralized AD projects. Centralized systems might also be considered in areas where dairy, swine or poultry farms are too small to support a cost-effective on-farm facility. In Tillamook, Oregon, an agreement was recently signed to build a long-discussed centralized facility using the manure from 10,000 cows. The facility would process about 500 tons of dairy manure and other organic waste each day. Because of low prices in the local electrical energy market, plans call for the biogas to fuel one or more boilers to produce steam that could be 3 marketed to local industries. The planned facility will also produce 27,000 cubic yards (yd ) of fiber/year and 70,000-80,000 gal of liquid nutrients daily. The combined capital cost is estimated to be about $12 million. The item of interest here is that the farmer’s have formed a manure supply cooperative (MEADCO) that represents the interests of its members in ensuring a consistent supply of quality manure to the project. MEADCO will manage individual supply contracts with its members and coordinate the transportation of manure and liquid nutrients between its members and the conversion plant. Construction of this centralized plant is expected to commence in 1998. 1 Combined with the Oregon project, the DOE’s Commercialization Ventures Program announced that it will provide $1.5 million to BioRecycling Technologies Inc. (BTI) to demonstrate a zero discharge process to convert the manure from 10,000 cows into energy, fertilizers and potting soil. This facility in California is scheduled to begin operation in late 1998, and is discussed in greater detail in Case Study 4-23. 1 November press release, Washington, DC.
