Animal Manure and Related Biomass Feedstock Market Assessment and Preliminary Feasibility Study for a Papermill Biomass/CoGen Facility : final report

摘要

The Linpac mill is a large regional energy user in Cowpens South Carolina, and is seeking to improve and stabilize their mill’s energy situation in an area where demand has negatively impacted energy cost and availability. Linpac has performed this study to resolve initial animal manure and biomass raw material feedstock issuesincluding regional availability, procurement methodology and expected feedstock cost, as well as conceptual facility design and requirements, technical feasibility, and preliminary financial analysis estimates. The project objective provides for goals that act towards defining and resolving the animal manure andbiomass feedstock, and the preliminary feasibility for the project technical areas of concern. The work provides an initial determination of the feasibilityof the Biomass/Cogen concept and valuable data that is useful for future work on the Biomass/CoGenfacility and many other SERBEP project areas.
