The remaining liquid can be sold as fertilizer any fiberous material can be dried and sold and bedding material. Kevin Maas is a guy in Oregon who has built a small business around power generation using methane digesters [1]. The article quotes $3 million to get a digester-based power generator up and running. Likely OSE could do FAR better than that.
