Initial Datasets form Phase 3

Sunday 15th September

I've now started compiling the datasets.  First up, temperature readings:


This is the first time we've been able to monitor the sludge temperature, and it's interesting to see how it compares to the air temperature.

Other things to note, are the relatively in significant difference between the two roof designs, and the minimal impact (in terms of heat gain) of the raking strategies.  The unraked beds were lower maintenance (no need to rake each day) but observation suggests the raked beds dried quicker.  So I guess it depends whether you want speed (increased throughput) or faff.

Hopefully I'll be able to post some pathogen results in the next day or two, and some more indepth analysis of these initial results.
