Huckabay Ridge is said to be one of the largest plants of its kind in the North America and processes agricultural manure and organics (residues from food, grease, and other organic compounds) into pipeline quality renewable natural gas.
The facility contains eight digester tanks each with a capacity of 916,000 gallons and converts manure and organics into methane-rich biogas through the process of anaerobic digestion.
Anaerobic digestion technology produces biogas by enhancing nature’s organic degradation process via microbial activity.
By creating a hospitable environmental for bacteria to consume the organic material in manure and the organics, methane is created along with an nutrient rich effluent that is beneficial for agricultural crop production.
The methane-rich biogas is compressed and conditioned for pipeline injection and can be used to produce power, fuel industrial facilities, and as a clean fuel for vehicles.
