Anaerobic Digestion

Anaerobic digestion is a process in which organic matter from wet organic wastes (ie.. liquid manure, food processing wastes, etc.) is converted into methane by bacteria in the absence of oxygen. The methane is then collected and may be used to generate electricity. In addition, the AD process creates potentially valuable by-products, such as the solids fraction - fiber, and liquid with available nutrients. CSANR has supported extensive research efforts in improving AD technology for manure, co-digestion of manure with food processing waste, develompent of nutrient co-products, and demonstration of the use of biogas as a transportation fuel.
