During the past quarter all experimental systems have become operational. The earlier problems with equipment acquisition have delayed the progress somewhat. However, most of these problems have been overcome such that the experimental programs have been initiated. This report will concentrate on the manure fermentation portion of this project. The study relating to the effect of reactor design is underway, but the results are too preliminary to evaluate. Therefore, no data from this activity will be reported.
Two contract modifications (one to study the effect of reactor design on bioconversion efficiency and the other to study the effects of variable speed mixing) are reported. All equipment has now been obtained, but installation is not complete. (JSR).
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).
