Project Background
Anaerobic digesters can provide dairy farms with important benefits, but this processing of manure increases its level of ammonium - a greenhouse gas (GHG) that can be lost to the atmosphere rapidly. This project focuses on evaluating the potential of a low-cost digester effluent treatment system to shape best management practices for manure and nutrient management.
