Progress is reported in development of a mobile fermentation system at the Monfort feedlot. Continued use was made of aged pen 307 residue at a nominal loading rate of 0.25 pounds volatile solids/ft/sup 3//day along with a 10-day retention time and an operating temperature of 57/sup 0/C for the purpose of establishing comparative yields. The ten-day running average of specific methane yield increased to an indicated yield of 3.0 ft/sup 3/ CH/sub 4//No. volatile solids representing approximately 75 percent of that obtained from the fresh residue. During this entire period no attempts at controlling total volatile acid concentration were made. Preliminary investigation of the centrifuge capture efficiency was begun. (JGB)
