This report is a discussion of small anaerobic digestion units, stimulated by experiments operated by Bio-Gas of Colorado. A grant from the Four Corners Regional Commission to the Colorado Energy Research Institute enabled Bio-Gas to build a 12 to 50 cow digestion unit on a trailer which could be pulled by a tractor to 19 different demonstration sites in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Nevada. During this same period, Bio-Gas conducted laboratory experiments to determine yield coefficients of different manures and defined parameters to evaluate the economic feasibility scale. First the report describes the mobile digestion unit of 6000 gallons with its startup phases, operation, production and problems. Secondly, a discussion of the four and a summary of the Journal in the Appendix tell how the digester performed and how it was received among the people who came to see the demonstration. Finally, the report includes designs for four different sizes of digesters based on data collected from the mobile unit, the tour and the laboratory, along with an order blank for shop drawings.
