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 D
Project
Project code: 03KB081D
Contract period: 01.09.2013
- 29.02.2016
Budget: 121,585 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).
PCM Green Energy is responsible for the concept, development and test of the pelletizing process for the production of high quality biogas pellets made from straw. PCM GE will modify the existing experimental plant to match the requested challenges and specifications. During these tests, variations of different parameters have to be made and relevant operating parameters have to be documented. Further, a concept for the production of fertilizer pellets made from digestate has to be developed.
