Project Background
A number of different anaerobic digester technologies are currently in use on farms in the U.S. The purpose of this project is to test the viability of an innovative method for handling digested solids: coupling a solid separator with a digester, and then recycling the separated solids for use as stall bedding for dairy cows. This would help producers reduce the amount of phosphorous applied to the landscape.
