Environ can help you to convert unwanted poultry litter to create heat and electricity to manage your business more efficiently and generate income through the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) and by exporting excess electricity to the grid.

Innovative and efficient Biomass CHP System

• Poultry manure is a fuel, not a waste
• Heating chicken sheds and site buildings
• Off-set site electrical loads
• Future proof of electricity and heating costs
• RHI Income from qualifying heat
• Off-set fuel consumption costs (gas, oil, LPG or woody biomass)
• Reduction in odours
• Avoidance of spreading poultry manure on land
• Enhanced bird health, better ventilation, dryer air and improved biosecurity
• Less humidity in poultry shed (replacing LPG)
• Reduced potential for watercourse pollution
• Fewer vehicle movements on and off-site
• Reduced carbon footprint and Green House Gas emissions
• By-product (ash) as a fertiliser
• Fully automated operation

Poultry manure is an abundant fuel that can be combusted in an IED compliant system. Typically, the litter is removed from the chicken sheds at the end of each growing cycle of approximately 7 crops per year. 

The manure is delivered to the fuel store where a feed system transports the manure under negative pressure to a conveyor for delivery to the combustor auger feed system. The auger moves the manure (fuel) into the primary combustion chamber for the complete combustion the process to begin. 

The combustion gas at around 900°c is diluted through a series of filters delivering 530°c gas to the Organic Rankine Cycle Evaporator.

The heat extracted from the filtered combustion gas converts the ORC working fluid from a liquid to a gas, this change in state spins a turbine which is linked to an electrical generator. The working fluid is then cooled and the resulting heat can be used in a downstream heating process such as poultry sheds, dryer, offices and homes. 

The working fluid is then pumped back to the heat source and the cycle repeats.
