Maine wastewater plants are used to reuse
Article Abstract:
Wastewater treatment plants in Maine are used for composting municipal biosolids. Traditional agriculture and natural resource industries, and low density population accentuate the need for these treatment plants to recycle biosolids. Land application programs of the Water Pollution Control Facility in Skowhegan, the Wilton Sewer district, and the Kennebec Sewer Treatment District are presented. Their strategies for composting biosolids are outlined.

How Oregon is using biomass energy
Article Abstract:
Biological processes employed at Oregon's methane energy and agricultural development (MEAD) bio gas methane plant, for conversion of dairy farm wastes into electrical energy in simple low cost digesters are described. The manure obtained from the county's huge population of cows is picked up by the plant employees, treated upon by bacteria in storage tanks, producing methane gas by anaerobic digestion, which is in turn is used for power generation.
