ORGANICS MANAGEMENT COMPANY INVESTS IN DIGESTERS

摘要

Cleveland, OH-based quasar energy group (Quasar) is moving at a rapid pace to create anaerobic digester infrastructure. In Ohio they are working on 16 projects and they hope that at least 12 will break ground this year, says Mel Kurtz, Quasar president. Other projects are under development in Massachusetts, New York, Missouri, Florida and Hawaii. The company, which designs, constructs and manages anaerobic digesters, has facilities in Akron, Columbus, Zanesville and Wooster, OH. Quasar offers two types of complete mix digester systems: ecoFARM, designed for agricultural applications, and ecoCITY, targeting wastewater treatment plants and industrial food manufacturers. Quasar's business model is not that of a typical anaerobic digester manufacturer and developer. The majority of their revenue from all these digesters comes from tipping fees, Kurtz explains. Quasar builds its facilities without long-term feedstock contracts. Show less
