Biogas Heat Engines for Agriculture
The agricultural division of Quantalux has evaluated small “heat engines” for small dairy farmers based on anaerobic digesters. Manure from dairy farms can be digested to produce biogas, which in turn can be used to replace fossil-fuels on the farm. Our approach is to maximize the system efficiency so that farms with as few as 200 cows can operate a digester cost-effectively. This high efficiency is achieved by adding thermal storage and remote monitoring to the digester to assure consistent biogas production. The farmer can also add different organic waste materials to the digester (such as food waste) to further increase the amount of biogas produced. Biogas Heat Engine technology is especially helpful to small- to mid-sized farms producing organic milks and cheeses, decreasing their energy costs and allowing them to be more competitive with larger operations.
