The overall objective of the program of which this proposal is a part,
is to use the innovative design concept of anaerobic digesters (tested
on a pilot plant scale and proven to be technically and economically
feasible) to design, fabricate, and test and farm scale anaerobic
digester. This proposal concentrates on identifying and solving the
scale-up and operational problems encountered when transferring the
technology from a pilot plant scale to a farm scale.
The specific steps to accomplish the overall objectives are:
1- To design, construct, test and monitor an innovative farm scale anaerobic digester.
2- To determine the feed value of the sludge from the digester by
running feeding trials on hogs and been cattle raised on the farm.
3- To determine the fertilizer value of the sludge through land application trials.
4- To determine the characteristics of the supernatant from the digester in relation to pollution potential and end use.
5- To assess the net energy balance of the system in oder to determine
the economic feasibility of the proposed design under field conditions.
