5. The main gases from animal manure
• Methane G
• Nitrous oxide G O
• Carbon dioxide G
• Ammonia A
G Greenhouse gas (global warming)
A Linked to acid rain
O Depletion of ozone in stratosphere

11. Aerobic treatment of liquid effluent
• Removal of up to 100% of the organic
matter as BOD5
• (Pig slurry) Removal of up to 40% of
organic matter as COD
• Removal of offensive odours;
stabilisation for 2 to 3 months
• Removal of up to 100% of the
ammoniacal nitrogen
• Temperatures up to 70oC; some removal
of pathogens
• Improved and quicker settlement of
suspended matter
Biological process

12. N2O emissions during aerobic treatment
2 jours
20 jours
• Residence time : 2 et 20 jours
• Dosing cycle : every hour
• Systeme : CSTR (continous stirred tank reactor
12 ICARB Agricultural Workshop - Glasgow Caledonian University - 7th June 2011
13. Anaerobic digestion
• Removal of up to 100% of the BOD5
organic matter as methane & CO2
• Some reduction in offensive odours;
some stabilisation
• No change in the level of ammoniacal
nitrogen
• Some reduction of some pathogens
• Up to 80% of the bio-gas produced may
be required for slurry heating
• Fugitive emissions of methane
13 ICARB Agricultural Workshop - Glasgow Caledonian University - 7th June 2011
14. What can AD achieve?
• Biogas production
• Lower demand for fossil fuel
• Avoid subsequent CH4 production
• Odour abatement
• Reduction of organic load
• Reduction in some disease
organisms
14 ICARB Agricultural Workshop - Glasgow Caledonian University - 7th June 2011
15. What AD can’t achieve?
• Effect the nitrogen content
• Effect the phosphorous content
• Sterilisation of the manure
• Removal of heavy metals
• Effluent safe for release to the
river
• To pay for itself without external
help

16. Treatment of emissions to air
Filters
Adsorption
Cyclones
Ozone UV
Biofilters Incineration Scrubbing
16 ICARB Agricultural Workshop - Glasgow Caledonian University - 7th June 2011
17. • Measuring emissions

24. Any questions ?
After 4 hours of wandering, some began to wonder if the
project leader really did know the way to the restaurant
