Why is temperature control critical?
derived
Mesophilic digestion has to be held near 35-40 degrees C; swings slow the microbes and cut yield, so heat exchangers or coils plus insulation hold it steady. Loss of heating is a leading cause of quiet, gradual yield decline that shows up in the monthly numbers rather than as an alarm.
