Abstract
The aim was to promote the sale and thus further use of fibers resulting from the degassing of liquid manures by innovating a drying process which enables it to be easily stored for longer periods. A further aim was to discover, by surveying relevant literature, the possible uses of these fibers and to test the Rutgers method of composting (for drying them) which involves the use of controlled ventilation and temperature sensors placed in the pile. The control unit is set at 60 degrees centigrade in the hottest part of the pile. Ventilation takes place through solid tubes which are connected with the ventilator at one end and corked at the other end. Small holes are bored throughout the length of the tubes. The fibers are piled up over the tubes. The main pile itself should not be over 2 meters high. Ventilation is used not only for cooling and thus temperature control, but also to make sure that there is enough oxygen. The testing of this method is described in addition to the economical aspects of large-scale composting. Generally, it is concluded that the Rutgers method is satisfactory as a method for composting but the compost should be mixed
