ENERGY AND POLLUTION PREVENTION
-------
INDUSTRY DIRECTORY FOR ON-FARM
BIOGAS RECOVERY SYSTEMS
The AgSTAR Program produces this Industry
Directory to assist livestock producers and
others involved in the developing anaerobic
digestion systems to identify consultants,
designers, developers, equipment vendors, and
other providers of biogas energy services.
If you are in the planning stages of project
development, we recommend that you use the
Industry Directory in combination with the
AgSTAR Handbook (which is available on the
AgSTAR website at www.epa.gov/agstar) as
project development tools to begin the initial
project planning process to increase the
potential for success.
Commodity Organizations represent the
interests of a specific crop or livestock
commodity. Commodity organizations generally
are involved in marketing or lobbying activities.
Consultants provide a variety of services
related to biogas recovery systems, including
feasibility analyses (e.g., technical, economic,
and financial), nutrient management planning,
system design, and environmental impact and
regulatory assessments.
Developers design and install biogas recovery
systems for livestock and other industries. In
many cases, these are "turn-key" system
developers who provide consultant services as
part of the development package.
Financing specialists provide loans for biogas
projects, funding on-farm biogas systems for
profit, and brokering the sale of carbon offsets
and renewable energy certificates.
Energy Service Providers are independently
owned, municipal or co-operative electricity or
natural gas companies that have an interest in
providing biogas energy to customers.
Manufacturers/distributors include entities that
manufacture, distribute, and in some cases,
install equipment used in biogas recovery
systems, including covers, engines, tanks, and
system components.
Publishers distribute journals and reports of
interest to farm owners and others interested in
biogas recovery systems.
Universities are educational institutions,
including land grant colleges and universities,
involved in developing and demonstrating on-
farm biogas recovery systems and technologies.
The Directory is not all inclusive. We will update
the Directory regularly as we learn of new
businesses in the livestock waste market. These
updates will be posted on the AgSTAR website,
along with other AgSTAR products.
If you wish to be included in the Directory, go to
http://www.epa.gov/agstar/tech/form.html. If you
currently are on the list and want to update any
information, go to http://www.epa.gov/agstar/

AgriClean, LLC designs and installs biogas systems in the U.S. and abroad. Although there are a number of waste treatment
technologies in its portfolio, AgriClean is a licensee of a patented fixed-film AD system from the University of Florida.
Examples of biogas systems include: 1) A fixed-film digester on a swine finishing farm that produces 30,000 animals per year
(around 1600 animal units (AU) at steady-state) near Greenville, NC in partnership with the Animal and Poultry Waste
Management Center of NC State University; 2) A fixed-film digester and biogas use system on a 400 head (around 560 AU)
dairy in Hillsboro, MS in partnership with the Mississippi Alternative Energy Enterprise; 3) A fixed-film digester and biogas use
system on a swine farrow-to-finish operation that produces 64,000 animals per year (around 3580 AU at steady-state) in
Canada, and; 4) An in-ground ambient temperature earthen digester and biogas use facility on a 4000 head swine nursery farm
in Montpelier, MS. AgriClean also acts as a project developer on numerous animal waste and food waste projects, including a
biogas plant and piping system at a 1,000 head per day beef processing facility in Mississippi. AgriClean has also designed a
unique "power-flush" system (AgriJet Patent Pending) that will reduce the total amount of water used to flush the barns by close
to 70%. This means that manure collected from barns is close to 6% solids as opposed to the 0.7% that exists today, making
any treatment system significantly more cost-effective.

manure. Biothane worked with E3 BioFuels, LLC to develop an integrated cattle manure management/ethanol project in Mead,
Nebraska that is expected to revolutionize ethanol production by virtually eliminating the need for fossil fuels. Biothane
designed a nutrient recovery that separates the effluent waste stream into two separate streams, one high in solids and
phosphorous, which is well-suited for composting, and the other low in solids and high in nitrogen, which will be sent to an
ammonia stripping column, with aqueous ammonia as a final product.

The proposed Resource Development Associates biorefinery includes a locally managed system comprised of a 20-million
gallon/year ethanol plant that uses local crops and an adjoining 28,000-head confined cattle feedlot connected to an anaerobic
digester. Independent contractors will run "backgrounding" operations with additional 13,000- to 15,000-head of cattle. The
complex will produce fuel-grade ethanol, finished cattle, biogas, and biofertilizers. The biorefinery is economically attractive,
with an estimated internal rate of return of approximately 30 percent, achievable through significant economies of scope. A
commercial demonstration of this referenced biorefinery is undergoing final detailed engineering and project development at a
site located outside of Pierre, South Dakota. Construction is scheduled to commence late spring of 2002 and start-up is

LO-CAT is an H2S removal technology, where we use liquid iron redox to reduce hydrogen sulfide from gas streams (some as
high as 99%), to pipeline specification (less than 1 ppm in some instances). This process is safe, uses non-toxic chemistries,
proven (we have over 170 units worldwide), and very cost-effective (LO-CAT removal of H2S generally costs between $0.10 to
$0.15 per pound of sulfur recovered), and is probably most effective in the 500 pound per day to 20 long tons per day (of sulfur
recovered). We have several operating LO-CAT units in biogas environments, as well as in odor control (in similar
environments). We do have solid media technologies in our possession (similar to iron sponge), but the economics of LO-CAT
generally far outweigh these types of processes (in most cases). In addition to LO-CAT, we are in the final process of coming
out with a technology called mini-CAT (which will target applications with less than 500 pounds per day of sulfur), which is
based upon LO-CAT technology, but on a much simpler, smaller scale. This technology will operate with the same success of
LO-CAT, at a sulfur recovery cost of approximately $0.35 to $0.45 per pound of sulfur recovered (the higher cost is due to
different solid sulfur filtering technologies, which makes for a "wetter" cake in mini-CAT, and therefore, a relatively higher
chemical demand rate). This cost level is still very much less than aerobic iron sponge, which generally operates at levels of
$1.15 to $1.25 per pound of sulfur recovered. By the way, when we talk about sulfur recovery...the sulfur that is formed in the
LO-CAT or mini-CAT process is solid, elemental sulfur, that is very suitable as an agricultural adjunct. We are truly a "green"
technology, as we remove a toxin from the air, promoting the removal of a harmful greenhouse gas (methane), in a completely
safe environment, producing a product that is very desired by the agricultural industry. In addition to sulfur removal, we have
several other unique gas processing technologies.
