Introduction
This document is applicable for the measurement of temperature during the composting and anaerobic
digestion process.
In composting plants, a high biological activity with corresponding self-heating of the biodegradable
material is achieved by a suitable process control under favourable oxygen and humidity conditions. The
temperature measurements are used to check the sanitation that takes place in the process.
In anaerobic digestion plants, the sanitation is achieved by a thermophilic anaerobic digestion process or
a pasteurization step. The temperature measurement serves as proof of the adherence to the given
temperature-time specifications.
