Zusammenfassung: | The poultry processing industry is one of the most rapidly growing sectors from food industry chain, with large quantities of waste generated every year. Worldwide there were generated over 10 million tons of poultry residues eliminated in present by incineration. Chicken feathers as poultry processing industry waste represents a source of pollution for air, water and soil affecting also human health and the quality of environment. This paper presents the poultry processing industry waste to assess their potential as renewable energy source. The High Heating Value of chicken feathers is 26000 kJ/kg (dry basis) which recommends them as an energy source. Based on the experimental results, the paper proposes some waste to energy conversion solutions for energetic potential recovery of poultry processing industry waste using thermo-chemical processes. Net electric output generation for a poultry processing unit (86 t/day waste) using some energy conversion solutions can reach 4 MW for completely dried product. This solution is an alternative to incineration allowing the poultry processing industry to become its own energy producer with positive impact on expenses with incineration process. |
