Ignition and Burnout Temperature Study of Poultry Processing Dewatered Sludge (PPDS)

Abstract:

Currently the combustion parameters of poultry processing dewatered sludge (PPDS) are not well understood in depth where our knowledge on this matter is largely based on very limited data. Preliminary results of combustion parameters from the Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) have recently been considered as an important guideline for combustion setup. This paper is aimed at investigating the ignition, maximum and burnout temperature of PPDS combustion. This combustion experiments were conducted using the TGA under 5 and 20 °C/min heating rates respectively. The experimental were set up under non-isothermal temperature conditions with oxidative atmospheres over the temperature range of 25-900°C. In addition to that, a proximate test was performed as a reference to compare the results.Keywords: Ignition Point, Burnout Temperature, Poultry Processing Dewatered Sludge, TGA
