The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for long-term storage, shipping, and stable production of black soldier flies, capable of use in waste remediation or protein production. The invention overcomes drawbacks associated with current methods of using black soldier flies, significantly increasing the period during which black soldier fly neonates can be stored and the time in which larvae mature.

An integrated system for anaerobic digestion of organic solid waste, including a continuous stirred-tank reactor, a micro-voltage- and conductive material-enhanced reactor, and a micro-aeration and inert solid waste separation integrated reactor. The micro-electrolysis reactor includes a plate cover, a cylindrical tank body and two column bases. The plate cover is provided with a direct-current (DC) regulated power supply to apply a micro voltage. The cylindrical tank body is provided with a carbon fiber felt and a graphite rod as electrodes, on which electroactive anaerobic bacteria are distributed. Multiple iron-carbon layers are arranged in the tank body to optimize the interspecies electron transfer.

A process for transforming a stream of MSW material into feedstock for an anaerobic digester and the resulting generation of biogas and other useful products includes the removal of one or more selected chlorine containing components and the retaining of substantially all paper components. At least 70% by mass of the incoming stream of MSW material is hydrolyzed and subsequently directed to the anaerobic digester.
