You could contact Professor Lettinga (Wageningen) and he could tell you everything to do successful anaerobic treatment of FLAX ROTTING waste waters. About 10 - 15 years ago, the flax industry was working in the Netherlands. Dr. Lettinga did research on anaerobic treatment of the wastewaters, and the results were "very, very positive". Flax rotting wastewater contains completely soluble components (mainly volatile fatty acids), and is an excellent substrate for anaerobic treatment. Unfortunately (for further research along this line), there is no industrial flax rotting anymore in the Netherlands. Now, Dr. Lettinga told me, he would be willing to share his research experience on anaerobic treatment of flax rotting waste water with you. this is his address: Prof. Dr. G. Lettinga Agricultural University Wageningen "Biotechnion" Bomenweg 2 NL-6703-HD Wageningen Regards, Siggi Question: Why can I "merge" a file with the command "submit file" when I write a letter to you, Foo, but not when I write a comment to AN DIG TECH?
