Project - Utah State University

• The system consists of an induced blanket reactor (IBR), which is a type of anaerobic digester converting organic carbon in the manure to methane and carbon dioxide.
• The (IBR) is followed by an electro-coagulation unit to concentrate nutrients from the effluent of the IBR. The anaerobic digestion system allows the electro-coagulation process to perform more efficiently.
• Effluent from the electro-coagulation unit will be combined with sludge from the IBR producing a valuable liquid fertilizer and soil conditioner.
• Treated water from the system is nearly odorless and contains less than 25% of the nutrients in the original waste stream.
• Biogas will be produced from this system and utilized to offset the electrical usage.
