SAFE AND ECONOMICAL ON-FARM DISPOSAL OF ANIMAL WASTE

Abstract

Present wastes from high density animal-farming have created serious environmental and public health problems. Hence there is an urgent need for the development of a safe on-farm animal-wastes incineration system. For wastes that contain high vapor-pressure hydrocarbon-components, improved incineration can be achieved through a low temperature pre-carbonization process. The resulting pre-carbonized products can be burnt in conventional ways to greatly minimize ground and air pollution problems and to improve the sanitary condition for the animal-farming operation.
