Dairy Anaerobic Digester Workshop, Sunnyside - February 25th, 2005

More than 90 people crammed into the Snipes Mountain Brewery in Sunnyside to learn about anaerobic digestion from some of the top AD experts in the country.

 

 

The Big 3: Mark Moser (RCM), Steve Dvorak (GHD), and Phil Lusk (RDA) each presented on their approach to anaerobic digestion of dairy manure, economic considerations, and other project management related questions.

 

Steve Dvorak of GHD in Wisconsin describes his novel U-shaped, plug flow digester.

 

Phil Lusk of Resource Development Associates in South Dakota explains that digesters are the only manure management technology that can pay for itself.

 

Mark Moser (RCM) of California explains his suite of digester technologies and demonstrates that the most recent generation of dairy digesters have an excellent and reputable track record for performance.

 

Dr. Shulin Chen (WSU BioSystems Engineering) explains his research group's novel approach to anaerobic digestion and the value of developing co-products in addition to biogas production.

Dr. Joe Harrison, WSU Nutrient Management Specialist, describes research on struvite (a phosphorous fertilizer) extracted as a high-value co-product from anaerobic digestion.

 

A number of the participants requested additional workshops on anaerobic digestion in the future.

The Climate Friendly Farming Research & Demonstration Project is a project of Washington State University's Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources which seeks to understand the interconnections between climate change, greenhouse gas emissions and agriculture in an effort to reduce agricultural emissions of greenhouse gases, improve soil carbon sequestration of carbon dioxide, and develop bioenergy, biofuels and bioproducts from agriculture that offset the combustion of fossil fuel carbon.
