Project Description
The project will test the efficacy at a commercial farm scale of the innovative product GasAbate Swine which enhances the energy potential of stored pig manure and slurry when used as a feedstock for anaerobic digestion (AD). The effect of gaseous emissions and the potential increase in AD will be tested and a prototype gaseous sensing and automated product dosing system will be developed at a medium scale to address key market needs.Project Details
