Enhanced anaerobic digestion of biomass waste for optimized production of renewable energy and solids for compost

Abstract Anaerobic digestion of animal manure produces methane that can be cleaned and used as natural gas. This process can be accomplished in a simple tank at minimum cost. Other organic materials can also be added to minimize the organic waste that normally goes into landfills.
