Anaerobic Digestion Bioenergy Field Day

Are you interested in on-site generation of energy from organic waste? Would you like to reduce the environmental footprint of your food or farm operation? Now restaurants, cafeterias, breweries, wineries, horse, livestock, and crop farms have a new tool to help them manage organic waste onsite while generating renewable energy, organic fertilizer, and soil enhancing inputs. Recycle organic matter and return it to the soil as sequestered carbon close to home!

Join us for a free Anaerobic Digestion Bioenergy Field Day, April 14, 2015 from 10:00am-1:00pm at Willie Green's Organic Farm, 19501 Tualco Road, Monroe, WA to see this exciting innovation in small-scale, portable anaerobic digestion (AD). Learn how you can develop a local, community-based, farm-to-table and back-to-farm lifecycle while reducing waste and transportation costs, lowering energy consumption, and saving money!

On hand will be Andrew Corbin of WSU Snohomish County Extension and Jan Allen of Impact Bioenergy to explain the technology and discuss this innovative, ready-to-use anaerobic digestion system. Allen specializes in anaerobic digestion, composting, wood fuel processing, bulk material handling and odor control facilities. He has been involved in the design and operation of composting and soil production facilities since the late 1980s. He has also been involved in the design and operation of anaerobic digestion facilities and is the registered inventor on six U.S. patents for composting, anaerobic digestion, and biofiltration.

On display during the field day will be a mobile Anaerobic Digestion Unit whose features include:
Gross energy output of up to 360,000 BTU per day,
Electrical output up to 2.5 kWh,
Gas storage (expandable) for up to 175 cubic feet,
Capacity to consume up to 135 lbs. organic waste per day,
Safety system 12-volt surplus gas burner, and a
Footprint of only 130 square feet!

In addition you'll learn how you can save 25% on Renewable Energy Equipment Costs through the USDA's Rural Energy for America (REAP) Renewable Energy Systems & Efficiency Improvements Program. REAP provides guaranteed loan financing and grant funding to agricultural producers and rural small businesses to purchase or install renewable energy systems or make energy efficiency improvements. Funds may be used for the purchase, installation and construction of renewable energy systems.

This is a FREE event, but space is limited! RSVP required at AD.BrownpaperTickets.com, or contact Andrew Corbin at (425) 357-6012 or corbina@wsu.edu.
