Subject: use of horse dung (manure) in gassifier

Dear Sir,

 

I am a veterinarian working on a stud farm in India, the problem with us is disposal of horse manure.I tried it in biogas with hardly any yield , so thought of using it in a gassifier to produce electricity.

 

So I would appiciate if you could kindly let me know the following

 

1  can horse manure along paddy (rice) straw be used.

 

2 For a farm with 150 horses how big should be the gassifier?

 

3 What would be the cost of it?

 

4How much electricity will be generated per 10 kgs of dry compressed horse manure ?

 

5 Can I manufacture my own gassifier ? Where can I get the design of the same ?

 

Thanks.

 

With regards.
