Progress is reported in research on the development of optimum conditions for the production of methane from organic materials by fermentation. Beef lot and dairy herd manures were used in tests of three types of reactors constructed for the study. They are complete mixed, two-stage, and plug flow reactors. Although there are variations in the data collected, preliminary results indicate that the complete mix reactor exhibits better methane production than either of the other two reactor designs. (JGB).
