Claim 8:
9. The anaerobic waste digestion system of claim 8, wherein the anaerobic digester includes:
a digester first cell having a first cell inlet and a first cell outlet, the first cell being adapted for selective connections upstream and downstream,
a digester second cell having a second cell inlet and a second cell outlet, the second cell being adapted for selective connections upstream and downstream,
a first cell bypass adapted for selectively connecting the second cell outlet to the first cell inlet, and
a second cell bypass adapted for selectively connecting the first cell outlet to the second cell inlet,
