APIX Pilot Plant Design Project – Recycling Wastes

Garthh, I hope to see a simple design diagram in the near future. A picture is worth a thousand words. As of now, I envision a "septic tank" design with compartments, that the biomass flows through. At the end, methane will be collected, liquid fertilizer, and the remaining solids are used to produce local products. The design needs to be built by the local inhabitants using local materials. Is this a close approximation?

I have gathered several ideas on the production of electricity using simple systems. The basic design is a small steam engine fired by wood. It is basic technology using relatively common junk yard parts. It would produce AC or DC. DC might be better. Automotive alternators are common everywhere. I will continue to ask "steam" questions on the CR4 forum and encourage participation through my questions.
