A Study of Energy Recovery Potential from Poultry Industry Waste Sludge

This report discusses the research and experimental works that had been done based on
this chosen topic, which is A Study of Energy Recovery Potential from Poultry
Industry Waste Sludge. Waste sludge originates from the process of waste water
treatment plant. The main objectives of this project are to determine the actual quantity
of potential energy that can be recovered and the Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and
Sulfur (CHNS) content from the poultry industry waste sludge. The energy content
from the waste sludge will be determined by using the Bomb Calorimeter and the
CHNS content will be determined by using the CHNS Analyzer. The result obtained is
then used to estimate the power generation. This project is carried out by using the
waste sludge sample from Ayamas Food Corporation (Ayamas Klang), Integrated Poultry
Industry (Ayamas Penang), Dinding Poultry Processing Plant (Dinding Perak) and Farm's
Best Food lndusties (Farm's Best Melaka). The results from this project can be used as
the parameters to build an energy recovery system plant. The energy recovery system
plant will benefit both the industries and environment whereby the industries can have a
saving in disposing the waste sludge while the usage of land for land filling can be
decreased.
