doing some stuff with the whisky industry up here associated with that. About the only downside of AD units is that they don't handle high protein levels very well so you have to be selective about the food waste you put it them. But otherwise they're a no-brainer.

I agree, they kick out a decent amount of heat as well.
I wonder if there's much study about the ideal size for them.

fucking shitloads of studies, yep

There was a piece a few years back
about a guy who signed up for every piece of junk mail he could, and then every morning loaded it into a device that compressed it into bricks and used them to power his furnace.

Not practical on a large scale, I suspect.
