Mid-Project Preliminary Research Report: Optimization of denitrifying bioreactor performance with agricultural residue-based filter media

Read the Mid-Project Preliminary Research Report: Optimization of denitrifying bioreactor performance with agricultural residue-based filter media About This Report Wood-chip denitrifying bioreactors are one promising technology to mitigate subsurface drainage nitrate-N losses. Drainage water is routed through these denitrifying bioreactors, where anaerobic microbes reduce nitrate-N to nitrogen gas that ultimately escapes to the atmosphere. We seek to demonstrate that agricultural residue-based materials (e.g., stover, straw, cobs) used as filter media… Continue Reading Mid-Project Preliminary Research Report: Optimization of denitrifying bioreactor performance with agricultural residue-based filter media

How Alternative Feed Ingredients Affect Poultry Dietary Electrolyte Balance

Read the complete report: How Alternative Feed Ingredients Affect Poultry Dietary Electrolyte Balance About This Report Dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS), derived primarily from corn in the Midwest, are a byproduct of the ethanol industry that can be used as a source of protein in poultry diets. Turkey producers are concerned that the use of DDGS will result in wet litter (bedding) conditions in the barn and/or change bird… Continue Reading How Alternative Feed Ingredients Affect Poultry Dietary Electrolyte Balance

Water Reuse for Agricultural Processing: A Community Case Study

Read the complete report: Water Reuse for Agricultural Processing (A Community Case Study) About This Report The Agricultural Utilization Research Institute (AURI) recognizes the value of reclaimed water for the agricultural processing industry. AURI initiated and provided financial support to study reclaimed water use for industry, and this case study is a continuation of the efforts to understand and explore the possibilities and potential benefits of water reuse and sustainability… Continue Reading Water Reuse for Agricultural Processing: A Community Case Study

Mechanical Dewatering Technologies for Wet Biomass Feedstocks

Read the complete report: Mechanical Dewatering Technolgies for Wet Biomass View the presentation: Dewatering Technologies for Wet Biomass About This Report Many wet biomass feedstocks generally have low value due to the high cost of thermally removing water to make use of the lignocellulosic material contained therein. There are mechanical technologies that can potentially remove water in a cost effective manner, which would help raise the value of these materials… Continue Reading Mechanical Dewatering Technologies for Wet Biomass Feedstocks

Midwest Biomass Inventory Assessment

The objective of this study was to determine potential biomass resources within the Midwest for thermal heating applications in order to provide a “snapshot” of the Midwest Biomass Inventory Assessment for presentation at the 2012 Heating the Midwest Conference & Expo and for furthering the vision of the Heating the Midwest Initiative. This was done, in part, by developing a regional biomass inventory database of previously completed state-level assessments and… Continue Reading Midwest Biomass Inventory Assessment
