provide excellent odour control
-
produces renewable energy that is eligible for green house gas credits
-
produces a reuasable effluent with extremely high pathogen kill
Energy Potential for Organic Waste
-
Each tonne of dry cow manure per day produces over 20,000 Kwh per year of electrical energy
-
Each tonne of dry cow manure per day produces over 200 MJ/Year of recoverable heat
As an example, 30 cows produces 1 tonne of cow manure per day which contains energy equivalent to 270 litres of gasoline
