CH4 Optimization of BioWaste
| Division: | Biotechnology / Automotive | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Lambton County | | City: | Sarnia, ON | | School: | St. Anne E.S. | | Abstract: | In this study, experiments were done with home designed equipment to determine the optimum conditions for generating methane gas from dairy cow manure by varying the temperature, time, and water dilution.
