  1.  If there are cities of any size nearby you might interest an industrial gas co to install a liquefier and/or filling station at the site and buy the gas O2.  They would sell it for medical oxygen or welding.

  2. A smallish gasifier, using biomass.  Take a fair amount of additional capital.

  3. A high-efficiency incinerator or waste-water treatment plant.  Not likely to look good economically for a small town.

  4. Advertise free hyberbaric therapy for everyone and go for the tourists.

You might want to look at direct drive compressors instead of motor drive.

  After conversations today with the three industrial gas companies in the area it would appear the only economic use of the leftovers from this plants would be attracting a local business to use them, thusly avoiding the expense of liquefaction and transport.

   We do have a ridiculously large county landfill here, which now towers above the landscape. A high performance incinerator might be nice, but those go over like the proverbial lead balloon. We'll stay silent about this until the rest of the process is moving, then let someone else dream that up and propose it.

If you do greenhouses and have absolutely no use for the oxygen, think about this.
