“…The methane produced can be utilised for energy production while the nutrient rich digestate can be employed as a soil conditioner [6]. This alternative treatment method is an effective option, combining material and energy recovery allowing the possibility of an energy self-sufficient industry while incorporating a holistic waste treatment system [6,7,14,15]. …”

a b s t r a c tThis study was carried out to assess the energy recovery potential from organic industrial by-products of a cattle slaughtering facility. There are several processes to convert organic material to energy; the technology of interest in this study was anaerobic digestion, the biological conversion of degradable organic material into methane. The scenario was initially confined to a full scale cattle slaughtering facility processing 3.28% of heads slaughtered in Ireland. The methane potential of dissolved air flotation sludge, paunch, soft offal as well as a mixed waste stream (combination of individual waste streams) was determined through a series of biochemical methane potential assays under mesophilic conditions. The methane potential of the characterised waste streams ranged from 49.5 to 650.9 mLCH 4 gVS À1 . The potential energy recovery from the mixed waste stream resulted in the prospective subsidy of 100% of the energy demands of the slaughtering facility as well as the energy demands for the production of the biogas. When investigating the impact of energy recovery from the entire sector the potential energy recovery equated to 1.63% of the final energy demands of the Irish industrial sector. This could potentially increase the RES in Ireland from 7.8% to 8.13% contributing to both RES-E and RES-H.

“…High amounts of solid organic by-products are generated from poultry slaughterhouses. These wastes usually comprise poultry manure, feathers, blood, and intestinal wastes [12]. Slaughterhouse wastes present a high potential for energy valorisation; this is particularly true for gastrointestinal residues characterised by high-fat content [13].…”

“…Among the variety of biopolymers suitable for electrospinning, keratin represents an attractive and low cost bio-based raw material as it can be easily extracted from different wastes such as wool from dairy sheep, by-products of textile industry, as well as hairs, feathers, horns and nails from butchery. All these keratin-rich materials have been estimated to represent more than 5 millions tons of waste per year [2]. Among them, keratin extracted from wool has been demonstrated to contain key amino acid sequences, i.e.…”
