If any of you would like to engage in discussions of alternative energy
and
alt fuels we would be happy to share the conversation with you. We produce
biodiesel in TN from,soybean oil and from poultry fat.
Our gasifier operates an Isuzu pickup truck in Texas and provides all the
heat, hot water and electricity for our facility there on sawdust. We
produce
electrical power from 10KW to 150KW and from 6MW to 10MW on biomass. This
means that a farmer can not only be off grid but that he can have a cost
effective corn drier, egg incubator, herb drier, green house heater, and
many other
options.
We are installing a number of methane generator systems on hog farms in
Mexico to produce electrical power from the lagoons. Soon we hope to have
a
system to produce electrical power and heat from dairy manure using
gasification
rather than anaerobic digestion. We produce considerable heat using
poultry
manure as fuel in a combustion process that cracks hydrogen from the
ammonia
in the manure.
We are testing a hydrogen generator that duplicates the work we have done
with electrolysis in our Indiana tests using the tractor's generator to
provide
the power for the process with water.
We are about to use Black Soldier Fly technology on a fair sized scale to
process putrescent waste materials into protein and fat. The fat will be
used a
diesel substitute. We operate trucks and heavy equipment, including
tractors, with a blend of waste vegetable oil and diesel year round with
no problems.
This reduces our cost of fuel by 40%.
We use lactic acid fermentation to produce an excellent fertilizer from
fish
offal while separating the fish oil for fuel. Soon we will begin this
same
process with spent laying hens.
Many things can be done. Who like to talk about it?
