Biological Manipulation of Manure: Getting What You Want from Animal Manure
The use of manure energy by microorganisms--microbial activity--is a natural process of decomposition. Except in extreme cases of cold, pH, or lack of water, biological decomposition is inevitable. Microbial activity can create a wide range of by-products. By storing, handling, or treating manure in various ways, farmers can control the byproducts produced by this biological activity.

Considering an Anaerobic Digester? Steps to Take and Contacts to Make
Anaerobic digestion of animal manure results in biogas and a liquefied, low-odor effluent (processed manure). In certain situations, it can be a cost effective, environment- and neighborhood-friendly treatment for manure and liquid waste. However, an anaerobic digestion system requires a rather large financial investment as well as a large management responsibility.

Forming Techniques for Plastics
Not all plastic products are alike. But what makes them different? One factor is their forming technique, methods used to form theplastics into usable products. There are several ways to form plastics. These forming techniques, or processing methods, can affect the technical and economic feasibility of recycling different products together; therefore, being familiar with some of these methods is very important.
