Abstract:

Through regular monitoring and testing of biological health one can optimize the production of the Methane/biogas production within the biomechanical process known as Anaerobic Digestion. Through general watching of the biological system, one can avoid most cases of foaming events, toxicity occurrences or other costly down times. Daily monitoring of gas flow, and gas composition as well as regular microscopy observation can assist a Digester operator in noticing these costly issues before they occur. Knowing is half the battle of improving the economics of the digester system implemented on farm, business, institution, treatment facility or even home
