The details..

"Practical Building of Methane Power Plants" is a comprehensive guide on designing and building your own methane power plants for rural energy independence, natural fertilizer production, and electricity generation. The book is authored by L. John Fry who has pioneered in developing the first-ever continuously operated displacement digester methane plant.

The book provides detailed instructions with charts, diagrams, photos on producing free energy using waste organic matter while retaining nature's full nutrient value as fertilizing material that can help reduce labor costs while reducing epidemic risks.

The author also shares his successes and failures over six years of continuous operation along with plans for a 'Power Plant of Future' yielding 50k cubic feet gas daily from five tons (dry weight) manure which will be useful for small or large farms including homesteads, feedlots etc.

This new-age technology promotes recycling waste organic matter to produce fuel & fertilizer while helping clean up the environment. This informative read includes technical aspects such as biology process & raw materials used; three main types: batch-load vertical/horizontal models ranging from inexpensive working models to farm-integrated power plants; analyzing economics involved in operating these power plants.
