[Digestion] Re to the topic: 1. Animal Bones (Paul Harris)

[Marco Poliafico]

Hi all,
the master research I'm completing in Ireland is just about abattoirs waste (and slurry) employed as feedstock in anaerobic digestion plants. There are various applications in Europe (Sweden, Denmark in particular but not only). I have to say I don't deal directly with the technical process of animal bones but if you want to find out more maybe could be whorthy to read some of their reports.

Anyone

Has anyone had any experience with processing animal bones as part of
the AD process feed stream. We have read that it can be
done however there is not much information on it.

We are looking at adding crushed animal bones to a biogas plant however
we are not convinced that the additional cost would justify
the expense in methane yield, and we are not sure how much the bone
would degrade and what solids would be left.

The rest of the stream is made up of grass, manure, food waste and
domestic waste
