• The bacteria in the compost pile thrive in mesophilic conditions, where the temperature remains between 30°C and 40°C.

• Some years, more mesophilic plants are added, while during other years, more thermophilic capacity is constructed.

• According to DeBaere, who is with Organic Waste Systems N.V. in Gent, Belgium, "both mesophilic and thermophilic technologies have been proven, with about 62 percent of capacity being operated at mesophilic temperatures."

• A nozzle mixing system and external heat exchanger were installed to mix and heat the contents of the mesophilic digester (originally the unmixed secondary digester).

• Anaerobic digestion is more efficient when the process is maintained at mesophilic temperatures.

• Many plants adapt to mesophilic environments, flourishing in moderate heat during spring.
