[Digestion] Consistency of Digester Feed

[Paul Harris]

G'day All,

I can only suggest that very good communications be established and the 
importance of discussing ANY changes being considered be emphasised with 
each input supplier (with costly penalties for "Dumping" problems on the 
digester in the contracts!).

Good luck,
HOOROO
