COWS™ PROTOTYPE
A prototype COWS™ (pictured at right) was constructed in 2010 and has been in testing in partnership with Michigan State University’s Anaerobic Digestion Research and Education Center (ADREC). The ADREC facility is a nationally renowned center of excellence for anaerobic digestion research and commercialization. The unit is being loaded with cafeteria food waste, while operational metrics such as gas output and compost production are being quantified. This prototype is a 1/10th scale model of the COWS™ system.
