[Digestion] Centralized digesters for northeast US dairies?

[Jason Perry]

Thanks Bjorn,

By 'multi-farm' I meant a central anaerobic digester to which manure 
from surrounding dairy farms (within a few miles) would be transported. 
The digested effluent and solids would then be sent back to the 
respective farms for fertilizer, bedding, etc.

The electricity is sold to the net and the farmers take back whatever is left after the process and use it to replace som of the for fetilizer that they buy. I guess that they might add some kind of manure to stabilise the process.
