IMUS Sustainable Technology

**IMUS** (also known as **integrated manure utilization system**) is an [anaerobic digestion](/source/Anaerobic_digestion) technology that converts [organic material](/source/Organic_matter) into [biogas](/source/Biogas) that is used to produce [electricity](/source/Electricity), [heat](/source/Heat) and [nutrients](/source/Nutrients).[1] The technology uses waste such as municipal waste, cow manure, sand laden feed lot waste, and food processing waste.[2][3] The technology can be integrated with other industrial process, such as municipal facilities, open pen [feedlots](/source/Feedlot), food processing, and ethanol plants. The technology was developed in 1999 by [Himark BioGas](/source/Himark_BioGas_Inc.).[4]
