Poultry litter is an organic waste in Syria which can be a source of clean
energy if treated anaerobically. This research aimed to investigate the effect of
mechanical pretreatment of poultry litter in producing biogas and methane.
Experiments wer
e performed in units of fermentation laboratory on samples
ground spread over parts diameters 1 mm, 3 mm, and 10 mm at at 37°C
temperature, for a period of 42 days and compared with untreated samples
mechanically.
The corrosion of biogas pipes and equipments damage as generators, boilers and coprocessors is one of
the most real important problems in Damascus wastewater treatment plant (at Adra region). These
problem caused high financial losses and costs , t
hat it required studying and solving. Biogas is the result
of an aerobic digestion process of sludge, it contains about 50-70% of methane as a main resource of
power, where the biogas considers free when it release spontaneity. Different analysis have been occurred
on the biogas to show its components, tests on the pipes material and analysis of sediment material inside
the pipes that caused by biogas.
