“High efficiency power generation using ammonia recovery and methane fermentation of feedlot manure”

 

Feedlot manure contains large amount of nitrogen, which is converted into ammonia during methane fermentation to be fermentation inhibitor.  To circumvent this problem, we proposed to treat manure in hot compressed water, generate ammonia, and separate the ammonia from manure so that fermentation without inhibition is achieved.  This ammonia can be converted into hydrogen by electrolysis, and the hydrogen is mixed with methane fermentation gas for power generation with high efficiency.

“Community-based Bring-in Biomass Collection System and Smart Biomass Network”

 

This presentation dealt with feasibility study on a smart biomass network, which was expected to connect effective collection of biomass resources and biomass energy users in a community.  We focused on the use of wood biomass and waste cooking oil in Kitahiroshima town, Hiroshima.
