Maybe it is impossible to economically capture the Surplus Microbial
Metabolic Heat from compost, 
BUT
Right now I am getting a 17.3° temperature rise on 122cfm of air, from 5.28
cubic feet of early stage food compost.
I have two more compost research silos set up for heat capturing, simply
waiting for more food residuals to shred and load into it.
I have Type T thermocouples at key locations, linked to an Omega TempScan.
The air flow rate was determined by a digital anemometer.

And our R&D goes on.
