What Must Be Monitored?
For estimating emissions from all manure management system components
except anaerobic digesters, measure these parameters ...
Static animal populations (e.g., dairy cows, laying hens, breeding pigs):
Q Annual animal inventory
Growing animal populations (e.g., beef cows, veal, market pigs, broilers, turkeys):
Average annual animal population by animal type, estimated by monitoring:
Q Average number of days each animal is Q Number of animals produced annually
kept at the facility
Manure management system component use:
n Fraction of manure by
weight for each animal type
managed in each system component
For anaerobic digesters, measure these parameters...
Methane flow to digester combustion device:
n Daily average volumetric flow rate to
digester (cubic feet feet/minute)
n Daily average methane concentration of
digester gas (percent, wet basis)
n Temperature at which flow is measured
for each operating day (°R)
Methane destruction at digesters:
Pressure at which flow is measured for
each operating day (arm)
Number of digester operating days per
year (days/yr)
Number of operating hours of
combustion device
