Manure Waste from Dairy Farms Has Been Used for Methane Production for Decades, However, Problems Such as Digester Failure Are Routine. the Problem Has Been Investigated in Small Scale (1-2 L) Digesters in the Laboratory; However, Very Little Scale-Up to Intermediate Scales Are Available. We Report Production of Methane in a 100-L Digester and the Results of an Investigation into the Effect of Partial Mixing Induced by Gas Upflow/recirculation in the Digester. the Digester Was Operated for a Period of About 70 D (With 16-D Hydraulic Retention Time) with and Without the Mixing Induced by Gas Recirculation through an Internal …
