Dear Sandra,
We had constructed and operated over 25 POME anaerobic digesters in Southeast Asia and done +100 POME feasibility studies to provide gas/methane production estimates. If you send me your email address, I will send you a spreadsheet with the minimum data needed to give you a rough estimate. You can send me your email address at [email protected]. As for using bones as part of your feedstock for an AD I have no experience but my knowledge gained by operating 698 ADs tells me that you are better off keeping the bones out of the feedstock. The mineralized osseous tissue of the bone will not be eaten by the bacteria and if not properly deal with and diligently remove, it will plugged (rob you of working volume) your AD sooner than later. I hope this helps!

In Uganda we will have access to palm oil mill effluent (POME) and in the case of Tanzania, we have access to slaughterhouse waste, which contains the bones as well (mainly from cow carcasses). We haven't test the 2 feedstock yet. Does anybody has experience with those 2 feedstock? With regard to POME, I am looking for data on biogas yield. With regard to bones; Will it be suitable for AD? Does anybody have experiences with pretreatment of bones? I read somewhere that, after crushing, it has to be cooked first before using as feedstock. What would be the biogas yield? Who can help me out? Or has some useful literature on this? Thanks a lot! Best regards, Sandra Bos FACT Foundation The Netherlands www.fact-foundation.com
