Assembly and Testing of an On-Farm Manure to Energy Conversion BMP for Animal Waste Pollution Control

摘要

The main goal of the project was to evaluate the feasibility of converting animal manure by thermal means to generate heat, fuel, and power. The specific objectives are: (1) Evaluate the physical and chemical properties of dairy manure, (2) Perform gasification experiments and report on the performance characteristics, (3) Evaluate the eutectic point behavior of dairy manure, and (4) Estimate the energy produced during the conversion and the potential for heat and power production.
