Fast production of methane by anaerobic digestion. Final report, May 24, 1976--December 31, 1978. Volume II. Appendices

Appendix I is a compilation of the raw data taken during the work. Tables I-1 through I-11 contain data from the system consisting of digesters D/sub 1/, D/sub 2/, and D/sub 3/, and this was a major fraction of the study. Tables I-2 through I-5 pertain to thermophilic temperature experiments and Tables I-7 through I-9 and I-10 through I-11 pertain to agitational experiments. Table I-9A contains the data for the pressure experiment. Table I-1 is a collection of daily data that spans all of these studies, while Table I-6 is bridge between the temperature and agitational works. Tables I-12 and I-13 are a body of data taken on a second digestion system for a loading experiment conducted under the conditions of elevated temperature, reduced pressure, and vigorous agitation. Finally, Table I-14 includes data taken on a third laboratory system for anaerobically converting RDF to soluble COD. Appendix II is a procedure for correcting and converting the methane data in Table I-5 to gaseous COD.
