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

Keller Engineers provided excellent guidance and support throughout our building project, which included key elements such as: structural recommendations, land development, environmental planning, and a beautiful rain garden. We knew we could trust the expertise of Adam Long, RLA and Brian Smith, PE in helping us create a practical and beautiful building and streetscape that enhances our neighborhood and the community.
