Description
The energy potential of poultry manure will be used to obtain thermal energy and/or electricity that can be used on the farms themselves. In addition, other by-products with high added value will be obtained.
Objectives
- Optimize a natural and/or forced drying method for chicken/turkey manure that allows farms to achieve the appropriate conditions for its energy recovery.
- Develop a burner adapted to chicken manure/turkey manure that allows the sector to recover the thermal energy contained in the initial manure.
- Optimize combustion conditions to minimize emissions and waste from poultry farms in accordance with current regulations.
- Quantify the reduction in farm energy costs by harnessing thermal energy.
- To characterize the ashes obtained in the process and evaluate their potential for agronomic valorization and the environmental impact of the proposed actions.
- Transfer of project results
Results
- Reduction of more than 20% of the moisture content of the starting biofuel.
- Recovery of more than 50% of the thermal energy contained in the initial waste.
- Development of an optimized combustion system for use in the poultry sector.
- Increased savings in heating and electricity costs by using manure.
- Development of a protocol for agricultural use of ashes produced during combustion.
- Dissemination and transfer of project results to target sectors through publications in technical and scientific journals, events and webinars, regional, national and international conferences, press publications, news and web content.
