quasar ecoFARMsystem 550 (F550)
It starts with a choice - In the face of rising energy prices and increasing agricultural regulations, the opportunity to recycle energy and reduce odors while creating soil amendments and high quality fertilizer can make sense to many farmers. These renewable resources can become a source of additional revenue for your farm. |
  |
quasar’s ecoFARMsystem 550 is a small scale (550,000 gallon) model of our larger ecoCITYsystem that operates at municipal wastewater treatment plants. It has been designed keeping the needs of a farmer in mind. We have based our calculations on Holstein dairy cows - but our process can apply to farms focused on hogs, crops and other sources of agricultural waste.

*Information in the chart above is based on scrape manure collection. |
| Our process is versatile - smaller farms with lower daily manure yields will have excess capacity available in the ecoFARMsystem. In these situations,quasar can pursue outside sources of biomass to increase your energy generation and your return on investment. |
