Anaerobic Methane Digester

Facility Type
Academics

The anaerobic methane digester, housed at the dairy complex, is sized to treat manure from around 400 milking cows and generate about 350,000 kWh per year from the recovered biogas. The system is paired with a 50 kW engine/generator set with a heat recovery system.

The digester project at SUNY Morrisville generates data on the effectiveness of an internal combustion engine for converting biogas to energy, allows the tracking and evaluating of project data, costs, and benefits, and is being used in SUNY Morrisville’s academic programs to transfer information to others considering anaerobic digestion systems.
