Page 176 of the 1974 Rodale Press publication, 'Producing Your Own Power', shows a flow diagram of a sludge-algae-methane conversion system. It also mentions that, "most of the information concerning this system has been developed by researchers at the University of California at Berkeley", and that the system, "has real potential for the homestead or small farm". It also references the following citations:
