Quick user's guide: Each module will follow the format you see here. Each module is broken into a series of topics presented in as a video of a narrated slide-set addressing that topic. Assessment questions are organized using the same set of topic headers. So, open the assessment document, watch each video, and fill in the answers as you go. While we can discuss issues or questions during our weekly tutorial, you are welcome to email me with any questions as you go: [email protected] is the best way to reach me during the spring of 2016.

Anaerobic digestion produces bioavailable nutrients that can be a powerful resource for farming. However, when not management responsibly, nutrients can be released to air and water and cause environmental harm. So, nutrient management planning should be an integral part of anaerobic digester operations. Module 9 is broken into three segments (A, B, C): nutrients (9A), nutrient separation (9B), soil health, agricultural use, and comprehensive nutrient management planning (9C) with 12 topics:
9.1: Introduction to macro- & micronutrients
9.2: Nitrogen
9.3: Phosphorous
9.4: Potassium and other nutrients
9.5: Solid & liquid nutrients produced by AD
9.6: Environmental hazards & the case for nutrient separation (holy grail technology)
9.7: Phosphorous separation strategies
9.8: Nitrogen separation strategies
9.9: Salt removal & clean water technologies
9.10: Soil nutrients & soil health
9.11: Creation & implementation of a cNMP
9.12: Data collection, reporting and record keeping
