Waste Stabilization. Stabilization is the treatment of manure to reduce odor and volatile solids prior to land application. Run-off from drylots and liquid manure from flush alleys are often stabilized in anaerobic lagoons. Anaerobic lagoons use bacterial digestion to decompose organic carbon into CH4, CO2, water and residual solids. Single-cell systems combine both stabilization and storage in one earthen structure whereas two-cell systems separate stabilization and storage (i.e., anaerobic lagoon followed by a storage pond).
