FINAL REPORT: Demonstrating Optimum Fertilizer Value of Ash from the Biomass Energy Sustainable Technology (BEST) Demonstration Project for Swine & Poultry Manure Management: Cape Fear Resource Conservation and Development, Inc.
Farm description/project location:
Swine waste and poultry litter was collected in Duplin county; N.C. then transported to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, which is located in Kootenai county approx. 80 miles east of Spokane, WA. A central fluidized bed combustion facility utilizing gasification processed the litter into ash (used as a soil amendment), direct heat (used to dry waste) and steam (used for electricity generation).

    Nutrient Reduction Process:
  • Centralized static pile (a forced aeration composting facility for the handling of poultry litter from area farms)
  • Test different formulas utilizing carbon sources such as cotton waste, hog waste
  • Compost will be developed as a marketable compost/mulch product.
  • The potential for utilization of compost as a substitute for methyl bromide will be analyzed.

    Advanced Microbial Treatment System (AMTS) at Cavanaugh Farm No. 1 Process:
  • In-vessel composting technology, raw chicken manure and mortality carcasses, along with a carbon source (wood chips), turn into a stable, organic fertilizer.
  • Bio-filter acts as scrubbing mechanism, filtering out noxious odors associated with composting process. Leachate is collected in tanks and is re-used during the process.
  • Project involves in taking the raw mixture to a stable, organic fertilizer that will compete with synthetic fertilizers.
