Project Background
This project will develop information for a detailed technical, environmental and economic evaluation on the performance of an enclosed aerobic manure drying (EAMD) system as a new and innovative way of managing dairy manure year round. The project will demonstrate EAMD can improve air quality: decreasing the emissions of ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and particulate matter from current traditional manure drying process; decease nitrous oxides, reactive organic gases, and particulate matter of 10 microns in diameter emissions from the equipment necessary for moving and processing manure.
