Abstract
This disclosure relates to systems and methods for producing a fuel product from a source of organic matter which includes manure and may include other byproducts. The organic matter is processed by a teeter water feed hindered-bed separator device for substantially separating the animal manure from the other byproducts. The separated animal manure is then subjected to anaerobic digesting to produce the fuel product.
Claims8
A method for producing a fuel product comprising the steps of:
- providing a source of organic matter, the organic matter comprising animal manure comprised of volatile and nonvolatile solids;
- mixing the organic matter with water and macerating the organic matter to generate a slurry with solids having a particle size in a range of about 0.5 mm to about 3.0 mm;
- providing a teeter water feed hindered-bed separator device;
- feeding the slurry into the separator device for substantially separating out the nonvolatile solids from the slurry;
- and
- subjecting the slurry to anaerobic digesting to produce the fuel product.
