“…In recent years, much attention has been paid to the use of animal bio-waste in the process of anaerobic digestion for the production of biogas [13,14]. As indicated by studies [15][16][17][18], pre-treated manure and poultry litter can be thermally converted as their calorific values are equivalent to low-rank coals [19]. There are many methods for the thermal conversion of biomass, including pyrolysis, gasification, combustion or cocombustion with coal.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the physico-chemical and phase characteristics of ash obtained in the process of the combustion of Polish poultry manure in a laboratory reactor with a bubbling fluidized bed. Three experiments, differing in the grain size and morphology of the raw material, the method of its dosing and the type of fluidized bed, were carried out. The contents of the main chemical components and trace elements in the obtained ash samples were determined using WDXRF, and the phase composition was examined through the XRD method. The morphology and the chemical composition of grains in a given micro-area using the SEM/EDS method were also investigated. The highest concentration of phosphorus (from 28.07% wt. to 29.71% wt. as P2O5 equivalent), the highest proportion of amorphous substance (from 56.7% wt. to 59.0% wt.) and the lowest content of unburned organic substance (LOI from 6.42% to 9.16%) (i.e., the best process efficiency), was obtained for the experiment in which the starting bed was quartz sand and poultry manure was fed to the reactor in the form of pellets. It has been calculated that in this case, the amorphous phase contains more than half of the phosphorus. The method of carrying out the combustion process has a significant impact on the phase composition and, consequently, on the availability of phosphorus.

“…The gasification of poultry-derived waste has been limited to laboratory and small-scale applications, whereas full and pilot scale installations operating in industrial conditions are incidentally mentioned in the literature. Experiments on gasification and co-gasification systems using both fixed and fluidized bed combustors show that to obtain a high quality fuel gas, the addition of another type of biomass or coal is desirable [9]. Combustion and co-combustion of poultry derived waste is the best known process of its thermal utilization: industrial scale installations are operated worldwide, including UK, USA, Netherlands, Ireland, Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain [7], confirming the economic feasibility of the application.…”

Assessment of the Energy Potential of Chicken Manure in Poland

et al. 2019

Animal waste, including chicken manure, is a category of biomass considered for application in the energy industry. Poland is leading poultry producer in Europe, with a chicken population assessed at over 176 million animals. This paper aims to determine the theoretical and technical energy potential of chicken manure in Poland. The volume of chicken manure was assessed as 4.49 million tons per year considering three particular poultry rearing systems. The physicochemical properties of examined manure specimens indicate considerable conformity with the data reported in the literature. The results of proximate and ultimate analyses confirm a considerable effect of the rearing system on the energy parameters of the manure. The heating value of the chicken manure was calculated for the high moisture material in the condition as received from the farms. The value of annual theoretical energy potential in Poland was found to be equal to around 40.38 PJ. Annual technical potential of chicken biomass determined for four different energy conversion paths occurred significantly smaller then theoretical and has the value from 9.01 PJ to 27.3 PJ. The bigger energy degradation was found for heat and electricity production via anaerobic digestion path, while fluidized bed combustion occurred the most efficient scenario.

“…The economies of many countries are based on agro-industry, a sector that produces a lot of biomass residues that can be used as feedstock for the production of solid, liquid, and gas biofuels via thermochemical or biological gasification processes (Abbasi and Abbasi, 2010;Gírio et al, 2010;Yang et al, 2014;Aslan, 2016;Chen, 2016;Cutz et al, 2016;Joselin Herbert and Unni Krishnan, 2016;Bilgili et al, 2017;Toklu, 2017). Thermochemical processes to produce biofuels under biomass conversion include partial oxidation with pure air or pure oxygen to produce a syngas rich in CO and CH 4 , reforming with steam to produce mixtures of CO 2 and H 2 , partial oxidation and partial reforming with air-steam or oxygen-steam to produce a syngas rich in H 2 , and pure pyrolysis without any oxidizer to produce liquid and gas fuels (Hernandez et al, 2016;Pacioni et al, 2016;Kirsanovs et al, 2017;Li et al, 2017;Sansaniwal et al, 2017b;Tanczuk et al, 2017;Xiao et al, 2017;Zhang and Pang, 2017). Thus, one of the most performed thermochemical processes is coal and biomass air-gasification have been used for a long time to produce syngas with a high heating value (HHV) ranging from 4 to 6 MJ/SATP m 3 (Gordillo and Annamalai, 2010;Sandeep and Dasappa, 2014).…”

Experimental Gasification of Coffee Husk Using Pure Oxygen-Steam Blends

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This work discusses results on temperature profile, syngas composition, High Heating Value, and efficiency of a Coffee Husk counter-current fixed-bed gasification process, in which oxygen-steam blends were used as an oxidizing agent. The experimentation was carried out for various Equivalence Ratios (ER) and Steam-Fuel Ratios (SF), whose ranges were [1.6-5.6] and [0.4-0.8], respectively. The results show that increased steam (higher steam fuel ratios) improves the H 2 /CO molar ratio i.e., for a constant ER = 3.7 and SF at 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8, the H 2 /CO ratio was 1.2, 1.4, and 1.8, respectively. Also, the addition of steam tends to increase the syngas Higher Heating Value, which ranged between 7,714 kJ/m 3 at ER = 1.6 and SF = 0.4 and 8,841 kJ/m 3 at ER = 3.2 and SF = 0.8. On the other hand, increased ER (lower oxygen) decreases the Net Cold Gasification Efficiency (CGE NET) which was between 53% at ER = 5.6 and SF = 0.6 and 82% at ER = 1.6 and SF = 0.4. Results were also compared to results published before for gasification of the same biomass but using air-steam mixtures for partial oxidation. This comparison shows that the use of oxygen increases both the temperature profile in the bed and the yield of CO and H 2 contained in the syngas.
