Definitions
- the slat barn collection process made impossible to collect fresh manure and transfer to the anaerobic digestion system.
- the anaerobic digestion system digests the volatile organic compounds (heretofore Volatile Solids or VS), which are normally >80% of the Total Solids (TS), as confirmed by independent lab analysis. VS degrades with time, so fresh manure produces the optimum amount of biogas energy and higher digester efficiency, as measured by solids destruction rates.
- VS volatile organic compounds
- TS Total Solids
- enzymes which act as digestion catalysts
- the level of agitation in the tank is increased to distribute the chemicals quickly and uniformly by blend tank agitator 108 .
- the anaerobic digestion system 200 depicted in FIG. 4 operates within a pH range of 4.0 to 8.5, however the optimal pH range for thermophiles is 7.5 to 8.0 and the optimal pH range for the incoming feedstock is 6.5 to 7.0. Consequently, pre-treatment will have to adjust (if necessary) the pH parameters of the feedstock to within that pH range by chemical injection using pH adjust chemical metering pump 120 and pH sensor 136 located in the recirculation loop. For a non-limiting example, the pH can be adjusted to >6.5. Conditions where pH is outside of this range are tolerable but at dramatically reduced performance levels.
