Chicken droppings for producing electricity
Virginia Tech’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has working on poultry dropping into bio-oil. They have achieved excellent result for optimizing the conversion of dropping into power source. The result is achieved by mixing of feather,litter bedding and spilled feed. When letter is vaporized by heating it, the vapor is then condensed to get bio-oil. The same time, a form of slow release fertilizer can be recovered from the paralysis unit. The main advantage of this system is the amount of vapor generated by heating the biomass which be used to power the unit.
