Abstract
This programme examines systems co-digesting industrial wastes from rural industries with animal slurries, particularly for stability against shock-loadings of industrial wastes. The aim is to solve some rural pollution problems, using the energy, selling the solids as peat substitute, and returning the liquid to land. Screening for suitable wastes will be followed by 20-litre trials, to predict conditions where co-digestion will, and will not work.
