Synthesis gas from feedlot manure. Conceptual design study and economic analysis

Studies on the feasibility and economics of treating manure from cattle feedlots by pyrolysis to produce synthesis gas are reported. The results indicate that only large-scale processing under the most favourable conditions would be economically competitive for commercial use; it would be applicable...

Description
Summary:Studies on the feasibility and economics of treating manure from cattle feedlots by pyrolysis to produce synthesis gas are reported. The results indicate that only large-scale processing under the most favourable conditions would be economically competitive for commercial use; it would be applicable only in high-density cattle-feeding regions where there were potential uses for the gas.
