| Summary: | an important role in the decomposition of livestock wastes, and characterization of lagoon biogas. The sensors were anthropogenic methane emissions, which is a concern since classification of these responses considerably easier. compounds, typical of swine manure, were present in the gas different and showed increased spread which made different methane concentrations, temperatures, and distinguish between the characteristic sensor response found to respond to methane at high concentrations and humidities. Pattern recognition algorithms were used to Manure management systems produce 10% of total US methane is a potent greenhouse gas. As intensive livestock monitoring of emissions exists. Studies were undertaken into patterns produced. It was also found that when odorous production increases and anaerobic lagoons continue to play resulted in unique and distinguishable response patterns at stream the resulting response patterns were significantly the need for accurate and reliable devices for field the use of an array of chemical gas sensors for the detection |
