Methane generation technology has changed with the development of new types of anaerobic reactors for treatment of different types of wastes and for generation of methane from biomass. Utilization of reactor effluents is an aspect of methane generation which has immense economic and environmental implications. Demonstration of an integrated system of methane generation and effluent utilization would help define operating procedures and assist designers of larger, commercial systems. This project is designed to demonstrate and determine the best operating procedures for an integrated system of methane generation and effluent treatment and utilization which will provide valuable information for planners and designers of larger systems. 6 refs., 5 figs., 5 tabs.
