3.5.2.2 Conclusions from Set 1 <strong>and</strong> Set 2 experiments<br />
The purpose <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se experiments was to determine whe<strong>the</strong>r addition <strong>of</strong> moisture <strong>and</strong>/or NaHCO 3 to<br />
samples <strong>of</strong> fresh VIP contents had a statistically significant effect on gas production rate under anaerobic<br />
