EFFIGEST - Development of a highly efficient process chain to increase efficiency during the fermentation of poultry manure using modified straw fractions and process-integrated production of marketable fertilizer, Subproject B
Project
Project code: 03KB081B
Contract period: 01.09.2013
- 29.02.2016
Budget: 496,771 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Project goal is the development of an efficient, energy-self-sufficient process chain for the joint fermentation of poultry manure and straw up to small technological scale. The first step is the development of an integrated treatment technology (disintegration and compaction of straw) to a significant improvement of transport and handling costs. Second, an optimized fermentation technology should be designed which is characterized by maximizing biogas yield, optimal nutrient and water management, efficient stirring and mixing as well as avoiding sinking layers. In addition, the fermentation residues have to be transferred for material and energetic use (fertilizer production and energy recovery, particularly pyrolysis).
The IKTS acts within the joint research project as a link between the partners on the basis of analytical and experimental orientation. In the laboratory of IKTS most of the samples produced by the partners are characterized and processed in fermentation tests and basic tests for substrate and digestate handling. The process intended within the project is designed significantly. In addition to the layout of stirring by using a special analysis (process tomography) the development results are perfomed in small technological scale at the IKTS own application center of bioenergy.
