"Self-Screening" Assessment: The Appropriateness of a Community Manure Food Waste Digestion System
 

Anaerobic digestion is recognized as a means to reduce environmental risks of organic wastes and manure: reduction of flies, offensive odors, pathogenic organisms, volatile solids, weed seeds and methane emissions. Typically high in volatile solids concentration, food wastes pose significant odor potential when land applied. The Minnesota Agricultural Utilization Research Institute contracted RCM Digesters, Inc. of Berkeley, California to prepare a generic document, which will permit preliminary assessment of the feasibility of installing Community Manure Food Waste Digestion Facilities to treat manure and other waste streams.
