Abstract
In many situations, it is necessary to pretreat agricultural waste before final treatment. The purpose of pretreatment is to reduce pollution potential of the waste through biological, physical, and chemical processes. These types of components reduce nutrients, destroy pathogens, and reduce total solids. Pretreatment also includes solids separation, drying, and dilution that prepare the waste for facilitating another function. By the nature, pretreatment facilities require a higher level of management than that of waste storage facilities.
