Methane production from beef cattle feedlots
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6439403
The residues from beef cattle in feedlots provide an easily collectible source of biomass that can be converted to fuel gas and other useful products. The status of two programs being conducted by Hamilton Standard, Division of United Technologies Corporation, are described and presented. The first program is a pilot scale evaluation to determine the feasibility of producing methane and a cattle refeed product from dirt feedlot residues using anaerobic fermentation. The second is for design, construction and operation of a full scale anaerobic fermentation facility to identify the technical and economic viability of producing fuel gas and a refeed product from the residues from an environmental beef cattle feedlot.
