Liaison(s): Doug Grobecker
Advisor(s): Erik Spjut, Tad Beckman
Students(s): Jason Komadina (PM), Rose Hakim, Stephanie Wong, Daphne Park, John Silny

The goal of this project is to design an innovative experimental bioreactor system. The reactor will take in organic wastes (for example, lawn clippings, food waste, manure) and utilize bacterial digestion processes to produce biogas and fertilizer that can be sold or used on-site.
