Anaerobic Fermentation of Beef Cattle Manure: Final Report

    Research output: NRELSubcontract Report

    Abstract

    This report summarizes the research to convert livestock manure and crop residues into methane and a high protein feed ingredient by thermophilic anaerobic fermentation. The major biological and operational factors involved in methanogenesis were discussed, and a kinetic model that describes the fermentation process was presented.
