2,314,789 | Evaluation of a new fixed-bed digester design utilizing large media for flush dairy manure treatment. | A new anaerobic digester design for the treatment of diluted (<2% solids) flush dairy manure was evaluated. The new design was developed as an economic alternative for enhancing the performance of anaerobic lagoon systems in cold weather areas. The digester employed used automobile tires as fixed-bed media to improv... |
2,314,790 | Anaerobic organic acid production of food waste in once-a-day feeding and drawing-off bioreactor. | Acidogenesis of food waste was studied in a 2-L reactor with semi-continuous mode operation (once-a-day feeding and draw-off) for maximum 65 days to examine optimal volatile acid compositions for biological nitrogen removal (BNR) and enhanced biological phosphorus removal (ENPR). Various operational parameters of hydra... |
