Biofuel production from the liquid organic waste

1. Biofuel production from the liquid organic waste Applicant: Ecology and Environmental Management Chair of MSTU

2. Project’s objectives and actuality • Today an urgent problem in the Murmansk region is how to neutralize the high concentrated liquid wastes from farming industries (pig-breeding farms, poultry farms), and from food processing (fish processing and meet-packing plants). • These wastes are either collected in the special storage devices or removed to the locality. • As the main part of the farming plants is situated in the Kola , and Tuloma basins, these toxic wastes accumulation presents a permanent contamination hazard for the rivers.

3. The main objective of this project is to create a preproject documentation package for the pilot model of a commercial plant (methane fermenter), which will conduct an ecological safe and economically sound processing of the liquid organic wastes from the farming and food industry.

4. Following results will be obtained as a consequence of the commercial plant application: • Additional fuel – biogas – generation • Environmental pollution prevention • Mineral nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer production

5. Methods • Preproject documentation package preperation for the pilot model of a methane fermenter (process schedule, basic data for a pilot model development); • Technical and economic justification of the biofuel – methane – realization • Technical and economic justification of the nimeral fertilizer realization

6. Expected results • Preproject documentation package for the comercial “methane fermenter” pilot model
