In our case the concept of a mobile/container plant for BD is due the fact that it is a "farmer cooperative" effort and the plan is to be able to move the plant so that members with available time can easily run it without having to drive to it each day. We also hope that by having it mobile we can avoid some of the hassles local zoning boards might misplace upon us as they may only understand that it is a fuel processing plant and so equate it with the dangers and hazards of petrochemical plants. If past experience is any indication even after getting the OK to build a non mobile plant the local boards may (illegally) revoke it and require a huge expenditure in attorney fees to get it reinstated. Small county Govt. often seems to feel that it does not need to live within the law...and occasionally there is corrupt officials that must either be "bribed" (unacceptable for me) or fought. My old Sensai taught that when you have lost the option of "flight" you have likely lost the battle.
We also believe that we can use the "waste" heat for various purposes such as drying grain/corn and thereby close the cycle tighter. There is an old saying about butchering pigs...that you should be able to use everything but the "squeal"....in this case we hope to even use that. Additionally, we hope to use this unit as a teaching tool by taking around the state/region to encourage other farmers to form similar coops and grow their own fuel. Just thought I should add that there may be some good reasons for mobility. Dana Linscott __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
