Project Details

To generate energy from manure you need to have the proper environment for bacteria to grow, and a way to capture and utilize the biogas being produced.

Keller Engineers has designed systems that utilize organic waste such as livestock manure and food and beverage waste to produce biogas. The biogas is collected and used to power generators that provide electricity.

In addition to producing energy and generating money, our clients have received residual benefits such as:

reduced manure odors
nutrients in manure converted to a better plant accessible form
manure pH increased to eight
weed seeds digested by the bacteria reduce herbicide use when manure is applied to land
digested manure solids are dried and re-used for animal bedding

For over 20 years I have had the privilege of working with Keller Engineers and their staff of surveyors, and civil and structural engineers on over $150 million worth of work. During these project relationships and partnering opportunities, my architectural teams have received nothing but premium professional services and courtesy towards my own staff, clients and prospective clients with stellar attention given to building and site details, client responsiveness and peer respect. I look forward to many more teaming opportunities and urge any other architectural firms, municipalities or clients who have not worked with Keller Engineers to do so. You will be pleasantly surprised! Richard L. Karcher, AIA, NCARB
