Complete, Portable Units Available in US?

Hello all! I'm new to the forum and had a question. I've been doing a ton of online research on biogas digesters the last couple of weeks, with an eye towards the feasibility of setting up one or a series of small biogas digesters in the US to generate green electricity, with the electricity generated covering the costs of the digester(s) and generator(s).
One of the first stories I saw on the internet, from several publications (example) was about a company called Sintex creating self-contained biogas digesters for use in rural India to turn human and animal waste into cooking fuel. I checked out Sintex's web site, and they do have several models of a all-in-one digester that appears to be somewhat portable. The articles mentioned that these digesters were available in India for roughly $425 US, but the web site contained no information about pricing or availability in the United States.
Does anyone have any knowledge about these Sintex digestors, or any other digestors that are self-contained and available in the US? I emailed Sintext a few days ago, but have not heard back.
Thanks for your comments and assistance, and thank you to Mr. Crosby for creating this very informative and helpful site! I'm trying to work through my plans in my head, and I'm sure I'll have a bunch more questions!
