Step-by-step history of the Rockwood Farm digester
Step 1 – After meeting Dan Woodger (left) a few years ago, Jim Muir invited him to a presentation by a specialist from Pennsylvania (far right) about benefits of spreading liquid digestate on fields via draglining. This is digestate separated by a manure separator.
Step 2 – At the request of Rockwood Farm, Muir identified a project developer (right) to obtain food waste to co-digest with the farm’s manure. The “tipping” fees from haulers make biogas facilities, producing renewable natural gas or green electricity in southern New England, financially viable.
Step 3 – In-ground biodigester tank by RCM Digesters, under construction at Rockwood farm. Jim Muir, on behalf of RCM facilitated the agreement and down payment from the farm.
Step 4 – Dan Woodger in front of his methane digester which anaerobically digests food waste along with the manure of 400 adult cows. The structure being built to the right houses a “de-packager” to process more varied food waste and provide higher tipping fees to the farm.
