Frequently Asked Questions

1. Where does all the water go?
The water is evaporated and you are left with reusable waste that can be dried and burned for hot water and green/renewable energy.

2. Doesn’t the bio-dryer create stronger fumes?
Unlike other systems on the market, our Elimanure(TM) System aerates the manure which greatly reduces the odor. There also isn’t any need to store the manure in lagoons or spread it on the land. Our thermal gasification system burns the manure at 2,000 degrees, which limits the amount of fumes that are able to escape.

3. What is green energy?
Green energy, simply put, is a renewable source of energy that provides you green credits and kilowatts to sell to the power companies.

4. Are there grants available?
Yes, there are many grants available, both Federal and State, that this type of project qualifies for. Many of these grants are very substantial. Skill Associates has engineers and a very qualified grant writer on staff to assist in applying for these grants.

5. How do we get started?
The first step in the process is to do an engineering study. The engineers on staff at Skill Associates will evaluate your farm and design a system specifically for your requirements. From the engineering study we also create a feasibility study. A feasibility study is required for all grants. Your banker will be able to see the revenue versus costs and the advantages to the proposed system, based on the feasibility study. At the end of the study you will know the estimated cost of the project and the revenue opportunities available to you. Upon completion of the feasibility study, we will be able to explore grant and other funding opportunities which may be available to you.

6. How does Skill Associates, Inc. manage a project?
Skill Associates, Inc. has designed, created, and patented the system. Skill Associates manages the project from start to finish. We offer the project "Turn-key". In other words, you hire Skill Associates and they install the system with guarantees for its performance.
