The Given

One of the promising areas of processing poultry and livestock waste is anaerobic digestion, which helps to prevent pollution of the natural environment, as well as to receive processing products such as gaseous fuel, biogas and highly effective biofertilizer. The use of plants for the production of biological gas as alternative sources of energy is largely determined by its design characteristics and the worked out technological regimes. The study was conducted with the aim of obtaining data on the effect of the main parameters of the biogas plant and the heat exchanger-agitator on the quality of its operation. This paper considers the thermal processes taking place in the biogas plant in which the mixing device and the heating element are combined into one unit, which allows heating and maintaining the given temperature regime more evenly due to the rotation of the heat exchanger and the transfer of biomass heat throughout the whole volume of the methane. As a result of theoretical studies of the processes of heat exchange and heat transfer taking place in the biogas plant, a mathematical model has been obtained that allows determining the distribution of the temperature of the biomass throughout the entire volume of the methane. It is established that the theoretical temperature homogeneity of the stirred medium is achieved by combining the heat exchanger and the mixing device into one unit, the design and technological parameters of which characterize the intensity of the forced motion of fermentable manure, while changing the value of thermal conductivity.

This research was conducted to estimate the economic feasibility of establishing biogas plant from dairy farms manure in Al-Dlail district (Zarqa governorate). Biogas is a mixture of gas consisting of 50-70% of methane and carbon dioxide 30-45%, and other gases and water that resulted from the digestion of the biomass process with the absence of oxygen. It is used as a fuel source in many countries for the purposes of lighting and cooking. Biogas is a clean and renewable form of energy that can be sustainable solutions of large organic waste produced in animal farms and reduces the harmful environmental pollution. Also, it can be an opportunity to invest and make profits. Data for this research was collected by desk research, survey and interviews. The respondents were 31 dairy farmers; the interview included the Jordan Biogas plant manager, owners of manure plants, heads of cattle breeders associations and stakeholders in government organization. The collected data were analyzed by using SPSS, 5P's analysis, PESTEC Analysis and Canvas model to come up with a clear picture about the feasibility of biogas utilization in Zarqa governorate. The study showed the tremendous environmental pollution that happened in Al-Dlail and Al-Khaldiah areas due to the poor management of cattle farms manure, causing air, soil ground and surface water pollution. As a solution to this problem, the study showed that the most appropriate solution to this problem is to exploit these manure in the production of energy from biogas as a sustainable, and environment-friendly project. The research also included the size of the feedstock of the manure produced from cattle farms, the availability of the necessary technology to build a project of this plant, the availability of markets for its products and the legislative framework governing the renewable energy projects represented by the Ministry of Energy. The study concluded that it is possible to establish a medium-sized biogas plant. The recommendation is to facilitate government procedures for investors in renewable energy and the promotion of environmental awareness between farmers and pay more attention to the management of livestock waste by creation waste management departments in government institutions.

Composting Systems

Livestock waste management has received much attention because of the huge volume and instability. One of the good management practices adopted to address this menace is composting. This study examined the effect of specialized passively aerated composters on some physicochemical properties of chicken litter.  The composter is made up of six double T and V shaped pipe with three different perforation diameters of 15, 20 and 25 mm. Pile configuration of the developed composters had marked effect on total nitrogen content (p0.05) of the compost subjected to 90 days composting time. The composters had uniform air distribution as pile temperature was not significantly affected by pile configuration, perforation size, and their interactions. Furthermore, both T and V shaped pipe structures reached a thermophilic temperature of 49.0 and 67 oC respectively and the compost stabilized in the 12th week. From the agronomic point of view, V-shaped pipe outperformed double inverted T pipes with perforation sizes of 15 and 20 mm. Overall result from this study suggests that double-T and V-shaped composters are feasible composting systems that can enhance biodegradation, maturation, and stability of chicken litter.Keyword: compost, litter, composter, double-T, pile, perforation.
