Abstract
The two-stage immobilized microbe waste processor designed for sewage treatment by Messing has been modified to process poultry manure.
The Messing reactor of 120-mL volume was modified and scaled up to a 4-L volume.
Three different carrier materials have been investigated. Temperatures for each of the two stages were examined, and residence time as well as feed concentration were explored.
Analytical data has been computer analyzed using multiple variable correlations and the results of this analysis have indicated directions for optimization.
