The Facility
Components 8 anaerobic digester tanks, 916,000 gallons each
Output ~ 650,000 mmBTU per year

Huckabay Ridge is Microgy’s first multi-digester biogas production and gas conditioning facility. Microgy will design, construct, own and operate the facility.

The project will entail the construction of eight 916,000-gallon digesters, sufficient to process the manure from up to 10,000 cows. The facility is expected to produce an aggregate of one billion cubic feet of biogas per year with an energy content of 650,000 million BTU (equivalent to approximately 12,700 gallons per day of heating oil). The gas is to be treated and compressed to produce and deliver pipeline-grade methane that will be sold as a commodity directly into a nearby natural gas pipeline. The facility is to be located adjacent to Producers Compost Incorporated ("PCI"), a composting site that receives manure from over 20,000 cows.
