Application of serial self-turning reactor composting system to treatment of chicken manure
Abstract:
The research work was to study the effects of mixing proportion and aeration on co-composting of chicken manure, vegetable waste, rice husk, and recycled compost by using Serial Self-Turning Reactor (STR) composting system. At first, fourteen lab-scale composting trials of chicken manure (CM), vegetable scraps (VS), rice husk (RH), and recycled compost (RC), divided into five experiments, were conducted to evaluate the performance of different mixing proportions, and aeration rate. From the results of the small-scale experiments, two mixing proportions of 1:0.5:0.5:0.25 and 1:0.5:0.5:0.5 CM: VS: RH: RC were chosen to apply STR composting technology in large scale during twenty eight days. The final results revealed that the mixing ratio of 1:0.5:0.5:0.5 CM: VS: RH: RC at aeration rate of 0.5 l/min/kg dry organic matter was appropriate in terms of pathogen destruction and the quality of final products
