What Happens When the Farmer Says, “Go.”
The beauty of the Axiom bio methane production process is that the farmer’s role is minimal, and the benefits are substantial. Axiom handles virtually everything but collection of manure. The farmer saves money, completely solves the problem of waste management with little effort and benefits from the use of process byproducts.
If you decide to partner with Axiom to begin a bio methane production on your land, these are the steps we will follow to make it a reality:
- We analyze the site and complete a feasibility study, including checking regulations.
- We lease the land.
- We build the plant at no cost to farmer.
- The farmer collects manure for the plant.
- We remove all of the sand, grit and foreign materials.
- The material sits in the digester for 24 to 30 days while methane is collected.
- We run the manure through a dewatering process to separate liquid from solid.
- In some cases, we purify the water for reuse in animal consumption.
- We use the methane in a modified genset to produce electricity.
- We find markets for the power and byproducts resulting from the process.
- The farmer enjoys 95% less offensive odor.
- The farmer saves money on waste management.

Why is complete mix anaerobic digestion better than a plug flow digestion system?
A plug flow digestion system is a concrete tank or long trough in the ground that is covered with an expandable gas-tight cover. The Axiom complete-mix anaerobic digestion system is a fully enclosed system that heats and mixes the manure for more efficient biogas conversion, which works well for both dairy and swine manure. Swine manure in particular requires mixing to keep the solids in suspension. The Axiom system can produce one kilowatt of power with the manure of 3.8 dairy cattle, whereas a plug flow digester takes 7 head to produce one kilowatt of power.
