We are also working to maximize synergies and interconnections between technologies, through biorefinery systems approaches. These systems utilize a suite of interchangeable treatment technologies to achieve impact and viability greater than individual parts. This approach is summarized in our video, “Anaerobic Digestion: Beyond Waste Management” (a dairy farm-based system) featured in the sidebar and illustrated biorefinery concept documents for a municipal organics solids processing system (pdf) and dairy (pdf).
Each of these technologies as well as their interconnections, ecosystem benefits, and co-product markets are being actively researched and demonstrated with CSANR support.
