Plug-flow. 120 ft x 24 ft x 12 ft with a “V” bottom. 3 24,000ft (180,000gal). 3 50,000-57,000 ft /d (60% methane content). 1981. Operational. The project was initiated when the farm owners started looking for a total answer to their manure management problems in combination with a desire to help control electricity costs. “This system is innovative in its construction. Most on-farm systems use a lined lagoon or tank with a soft plastic cover that can degrade or require special maintenance. The Fairgrove system has had no such problems.

Manure is scraped from the free stall barns twice daily. Sand settling out of the manure has sometimes accumulated around the heat exchanger and blocked effective digester heating. Operators solve this problem by cleaning 2 theheatexchangersystemevery3years.Ashworth reportedthat trapped sand caused the heat exchanger to break. The operators spend about 20 min/d on general maintenance including loading the digester and maintaining the engine/generator system.
