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

Penn Cambria School District has collaborated the last 4 years with the Keller Engineer’s team to complete a multi-phased paving and drainage project on our HS campus. I have personally worked with Adam Long, Brian Smith and Shawn Ritchey throughout the entire project and they made Penn Cambria feel like we were their only client. The personal attention to our needs and specific details of this project were second to none. The communication aspect of the Keller Engineer Team was outstanding. We trust their process, their design and their commitment to a quality project that when completed, we are all very proud of. Bill Marshall, Superintendent Penn Cambria School District
