[QUOTE="sjt01, post: 8137612, member: 30726"] The installation I am looking at is purely slurry. Our own digester was originally put in by Greenfinch from Ludlow. Most of their staff went to Marches Biogas when they were bought out by Biogen. I then modified it so it worked reliably on a mixture of strawy slurry, maize silage (the cows have the best out of the clamp), originally chopped beet but now lucerne silage, and whey from our cheesemaking. Apart from the tank and gas holder, I have changed pretty much everything else including the CHP (now a MAN from IET in Austria with 96000 hours on the clock) and the PLC. Hardly a week goes by without some minor improvement to the control system, but the mechanics are pretty much settled now. We have a gas mixing system which is low power and pretty reliable. If I had not come back to the family farm as a chartered engineer I doubt the system would have worked for more than a year, so if I can help others with my hard earned experience (deep in slurry) then I like to do so.
