Production of high quality fertilizer from poultry manure for low input agriculture Alice Dall’Ara - ENEA UTTMATF Faenza, Italy Workshop – Organic Waste and Biomass material and energy source of the future IFAT 2010 Munchen, September 17th 2010
The final product VAP POULTRY MANURE HIGH QUALITY FERTILIZER Dimensions Aggregate Grain 5-6 mm Subgrains < 0,5 mm It is a mature and dry poultry manure, biostabilized and it has no consequences in case of overdose.
The final product 2 • Water content optimum 30% range 25-40 % • Total organic carbon range 20-28 %DM Total Nitrogen optimum >3% range 2,5-4% Total P2O5 optimum >2,5% range 2,5-4% avalaibility an innovative organic fertilizer obtained recycling waste which could partially substitute mineral fertilizer (i.e. urea and superphosphates)
Italian law on fertilizers (2010) -- Organic NP FERTILIZER DRIED POULTRY MANURE (concime) N > 2% P2O5 >2% N + P2O5 ≥5% -- NATURAL ORGANIC AMENDMENT POULTRY DUNG C ≥ 30% DM H20 < 30% Organic Fertilizer in agreement with Italian law
The treatment 1 DEJECTION VAP high quality fertilizer Bioreactor Pile/big bag Dejection collection MDS Manure Drying System Final fertilizer A process of maturing and stabilizing biomasses under reduction of smelling emissions, EP1314710, 2002, by AMEK (Ferrara, Italy) and CTI (Imola, Italy)
The treatment 2 pile
The treatment 3 Big bag
The treatment 4 – how apply VAP VAP Vegetable Active Principles A complex enzymatic mixture obtained from vegetal raw materials processing, according to EP Handmade or semiautomatic
Time and process • 120 days. Batch static process Microaerophilic conditions Bioreactor Pile/big bag A process of maturing and stabilizing biomasses under reduction of smelling emissions, EP1314710, 2002
Results 1 Nitrogen less available for leakage, surface and deep water
Results 2 salinity High field capacity in treated soil Electric conductivity (connected to salinity) increases, reach a maximum and later get below initial value
X-ray diffraction • Phase identification for PM samples turned out the presence of Calcite (CaCO3) and a partial presence of Struvite (NH4)MgPO4 x 6H2O = a complex compound containing N and P)
Thermogravimetric analysis TG/DTA measurements for SI40 - PM sample
Results agriculture 2 Chemical Analyses
Emisssion reduction - 530 t CO2,eq Water Saving - 15.000 m3 Energy Saving - 80% Environmental performances Environmental performances and Use of resources 1000 t of final fertilizer in comparison with mineral fertilizers (the same nutrients) afford:
OBIECTIVE: to place on the market a new high quality organic fertilizer obtained by the combined use of: - poultry dejection, Laying Hens Manure (LHM), - Vegetable Active Principles (VAP). VAP poultry manure European Project FERPODE CIP Eco-Innovation 2008 Pilot and market replication projects process is sustainable (matter recovery, waste prevention, low environmental impact) and final product (special poultry manure) is environmentally friendly FERPODE coordinator: Amek s.c.r.l. patners: Italian and Spanish SMEs
PRODUCTION ON FARM: FERPODE PROJECT EU patent “A process of maturing and stabilizing biomasses under reduction of smelling emissions” Amek (Ferrara) e CTI (Imola) No pellets Bulk or big bag Short chain Transport “km 0” maximum distance : 100-150 km strategy
FERPODE PROJECT Poultry dejections are: • Very rich in nutrients, in comparison with dung, • Has almost as much organic matter as a compost. (source EUROSTAT) • ~ 60 millions laying hen (LH) in Italy • ~ 500 millions laying hen in Europe • 900.000 t/y of LH manure in Italy • 7.500.000 t/y of LH manure in Europe
Animal by-products VAP from vegetables (no food) High quality fertilizer for sustainable agriculture Fertilizer for soils and plants • Reduced salinity • N slow release • Water and energy saving FERPODE PROJECT

Dimostrare efficacia tecnica del trattamento di stabilizzazione ed igienizzazione pollina (Reg. (CE) n. 208/06) e definire parametri standardizzati per la produzione del fertilizzante a base di pollina, che consentano di: • massimizzare il contenuto di N, P, C; • minimizzare la salinità; • minimizzare i rischi biologici (patogeni).
