Score One for Anammox. Scientists at ARS Florence Center isolated a new anammox bacteria from animal manure that can remove high quantities of nitrogen in wastewater. This finding may lead to development of more economical treatment systems for animal wastewater.(More information)
Slashing Greenhouse Gases From Hog Waste. Substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions can result when anaerobic swine lagoons are replaced with advanced technology that use aerobic treatment. More Information: More carbon credits per pig! ... PDFHTM
Reduction of Ammonia Emissions from Swine Lagoons Using Advanced Treatment Technologies. Substantial reduction of ammonia emissions from confined swine operations can result when swine lagoons are retrofitted or replaced with advanced treatment technologies.

Energy and Biofuels from Animal Manure: Wet Gasification. Our collaborative feasibility analysis with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) shows that the PNNL wet gasification technology not only produces methane from animal and municipal wastes, it also provides many environmental benefits such as destruction of pathogens and PACs, small foot print requirements, and clean water production. More information: Catylytic Wet Gasification... Interpretive Summary Full PDF
Energy and Biofuels from Animal Manure: Obstacles and Opportunities.We have reviewed thermochemical conversion technologies to be integrated with existing livestock waste management practices and identified obstacles and opportunities. Even with challenges of cleaning up of product gas, these waste-to-energy treatment schemes provide significant environmental improvements resulting in cleaner water and air.
