Pfeffer, J T

During the past quarter all experimental systems have become operational. The earlier problems with equipment acquisition have delayed the progress somewhat. However, most of these problems have been overcome such that the experimental programs have been initiated. This report will concentrate on the manure fermentation portion of this project. The study relating to the effect of reactor design is underway, but the results are too preliminary to evaluate. Therefore, no data from this activity will be reported.
