Researchers studied the microbiological and chemical changes that took place during the composting and anaerobic digestion of town refuse mixed with either water or sewage and of farm-yard manure treated under similar conditions. Laboratory experiments with 2.6-gal glass-bottle reactors demonstrated that the manure-sewage mixture produced the highest percentage of methane in the product gas; town refuse plus sewage had the next highest; town refuse with water, the lowest. Chemical analyses indicated that the digester residues in all cases contained appreciable amounts of organic carbon and nitrogen, making them promising candidates for fertilizer.
