Farmer's technology turns chicken dropping to electricity
Namakkal: The methane gas which is produced out of chicken droppings is
converted into electricity using a patented
technology of a local farmer turned entrepreneur. The farmers sell the dried
slurry and using an Israel technology, the
liquid scum is converted as liquid NPK (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium)
fertilizer, reports S Sujatha from the Economic
Times Bureau.

At a farm in Goundampalayam in Namakkal district, chicken droppings produce
methane. After that, using a patented technology
of a local farmer-turned-entrepreneur, it is converted into electricity. The
farmer converts the remaining liquid scum as
liquid NPK (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) fertilizer, employing an
Israel-based technology. The farmer sells the dried
litter slurry generated as a residue as manure for farmers.
Chennai-based GK Bio Energy also produced power from poultry litter in
Namakkal a few years ago. With 80 percent of poultry
business concentrated within the 50 km radius in the city, Namakkal is known
as the poultry hub of India. The district
produces 2.5 crore eggs a day, which generates a turnover of around Rs. 7
crore per day.
By collecting and processing the total poultry litter in the district, nearly
16 mw power per hour can be generated along
with 800 tonne manure and 10,000 litres of liquid fertiliser as by-products,
said S Durairaju, MD, Subhashri Bio Energies
(SBEL). The farmers are benefitted from it as they can earn around Rs. 13 per
layer bird in its lifetime from just its
litter.
According to SBEL Executive Director D Salai Sivaprakasam, SBEL uses 10
percent of the power generated for captive purpose to
run these processes.
The indigenous method was a concept of Durairaju, and in 1998, a pilot project
was put in place with an investment of Rs. 1.5
crore. After that, the existing project was sanctioned by the Ministry of
Non-Conventional Energy Sources (MNES), and besides
giving tax exemption to import of machinery, the ministry chipped in with Rs.
6 crore as government subsidy.
For the last one year, the organic manure (PSO6) from SBEL is being sold
through primary agriculture credit societies in
Tamil Nadu, said A Sankaralingam, Tamil Nadu Co-operative Marketing Federation
(Tanfed) special officer.
