Characterization and environmental studies of Pompano Beach anaerobic digestion facility. Semi-annual report
This report summarizes the results of routine monitoring of gas quality, airborne particulates, and solid and liquid phases of the Refcom facility at Pompano Beach, Florida. The plant produces methane from municipal wastes by anaerobic digestion. Bacteriological analysis of residual liquids and process streams were performed. Leaching studies with selected soils, filtrates and bottom layer muck were also conducted. A two-dimensional time model was developed. The first appendix contains the results of trace organic analysis of effluents from the facility. The results of environental studies on methane production are presented in the second appendix. The third appendix describes the gas analysis procedure and the gas composition of gas produced at the facility.
