Objective
THE RESEARCH PROJECT INCLUDES THE STUDY AND THE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE ARCHIVED (AND THEY ARE ARLEADY KNOWN THROUGH LABORATORY TESTS) BY SUBJECTING TO ANAEROBIC FERMENTATION THE SEWAGE OF A 500 HEAD SWINE-FARM. THE AIM OF THE RESEARCH IS TO STUDY THE AMOUNT OF GAS PRODUCED WITH REFERENCE TO TE KIND, THE AMOUNT AND THE CONCENTRATION OF THE SEWAGE, ITS COMPOSITION, ITS FORMING MODALITIES, ITS COMBUSTIBILITY AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF ITS IMMEDIATE USE IN THE SAME FARM. A SECOND IMPORTANT CONSEQUENCE OF ITS IMMEDIATE USE IN THE SAME FARM. A SECOND IMPORTANT CONSEQUENCE OF THIS KIND OF FERMENTATION IS THE DEPURATION OF THE SAME SEWAGE. THE RESEARCH WILL STUDY TO WHAT EXTENT SUCH DEPURATION TAKES PLACE, WHICH OTHER TREATMENTS ARE REQUIRED TO DISCHARGE THE SAME SEWAGE INTO PUBLIC WATERCOURSES WITHOUT ANY DANGER OF POLLUTION. ALTERNATIVELY, POSSIBILITIES WILL BE STUDIED OF USING THE SEWAGE AS A FERTILIZER AFTER THE TREATMENT. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE RESEARCHES ON AN ACTUAL FARM SIZE NEEDS THE INSTALLATION OF A SUITABLE PLANT NEXT TO A 500- HEAD SWINE FARM LINKED TO A DAIRY . THE BIOLOGIC GAS WILL BE USED IN THE SAME FARM FOR THE HEATING OF SILK WHICH IS NOW HEATED BY AN OIL CONSUMING DEVICE.THE MAIN AIM IS TO VERIFY THE POSSIBILITY OF EXTENDING SUCH A TECHNOLOGY TO SINGLE PRODUCER WITH NO NEED OF CONTINUOUS PRESENCE OF SPECIALIZED MANAGEMENT TECHNICIANS, AND ALSO TO VERIFY THE VALIDITY OF A SIMPLE SYSTEM WHICH USES POOR AND LOW COST MATERIALS FROM AN ECONOMIC OR ENERGETIC POINT OF VIEW.
THE SUCCESS OF THE RESEARCH WILL LATER ON PRODUCE THE DIFFUSION OF THIS PROCESS IN HUNDREDS OF FARMS OF THE PO VALLEY AND IT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO SOLVING, AT LEAST PARTLY, THE ECOLOGIC AND ENERGETIC PROBLEMS.
