[Digestion] Environmentalists Anti-AD Issues

[Randy Mott]

Arsenic in the poultry business was banned years ago in the EU. The biggest
problem we have besides high nitrogen (6%) is the logistics. The poultry
farms clean out their houses at intervals that do not necessarily allow for
stable energy production - we are looking at staggering the times among
multiple producers to get an even energy flow. You do not want to store
chicken manure, so you have to time the deliveries to match energy output.

Hi Group,
I overheard one of our more local strident activists, when asked about AD
for poultry comment that the by-product compost from poultry digesters
contained significant amounts of arsenic.

Can anyone comment on this or other known or potential anti-AD
Environmentalist issues. Here on the "Delmarva" peninsula over-application
of raw chicken manure onto the farm fields, and the subsequent runoff into
our abundance of estuaries and bays is a big issue. Our goal of introducing
absolute containment with solar heated bladder/ batch systems and a more
environmentally acceptable compost byproduct .... is supposed to attract a
positive response from activists.

Comments, Information, Suggestions?

Thanks!
Steven
