 Abstract

Nowadays, people in the Philippines are experiencing a

problem in cooking because of the expensive LPG tanks, so

we the researchers have found a solution for that problem.

The methane gas was cultured in a close container using

chicken manure, the gas that was collected was burned and

it is used to create a blue flame.

After such experimentation, the research proved that

our set-up was successful but the blue flame is just small

because of the time we cultured the methane gas and also it

can trigger fire.

The researchers therefore conclude that the chicken

manure is effective as a source of providing homemade

methane gas stove.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

Introduction

In current time the environment is severely polluted

by various wastes and toxics which create a danger for all

living beings. When people ask the researchers, how to

start helping our environment? One of the first things the

researchers always suggest is to reduce wastes they produce

ends up polluting the environment like chicken manure. The

researchers say this because it is one way to go green that

is easy to do, healthier for you, better for the planet,

and puts money in your wallet. Its a triumph for everyone.

But first, whats with chicken manure? Chicken manure is

high in nitrogen and phosphorous, making it valuable as a

fertilizer. However, nitrogen and phosphorous can degrade

water quality if used excessively, especially near

waterways and runoffs. Problems related to chicken manure

disposal are a relevant issue in many countries of Asia due

to the constantly increasing demand for chicken products.

The poultry population in result is increasing constantly.

The problem coming along with the poultry production is the

manure that needs to be taken care of. A non-appropriate

treatment or disposal can become risky for environment and

humans; for instance it can support the spread of diseases

and may pollute soil and groundwater. Currently no

legislation regarding chicken breeding is in force and

small-scale manure treatment systems are needed to reduce

the odor nuisance and the hygienically risk that is

generated from chicken manure. Chicken manure contains high

levels of phosphorus, nitrogen and other detrimental

elements such as arsenic and various heavy metals.

According to environmental groups such as Water keeper

Alliance and Water keepers Chesapeake, when it rains, this

chicken manure along with the harmful chemicals ends up in

the Bay. Many agree that agricultural runoff is the single

largest source of pollution in the bay.

The methane gas stove have a lot of good factors were

makes good use of organic wastes. You can obtain fuel from

sewage sludge and animal slurries first, and prevent runoff

and methane emissions at the same time and you still get

fertilizer at the end of the process. Is a clean, easily

controlled source of renewable energy? Uses up methane, a

powerful greenhouse gas that it reduces pathogen (disease

agent) levels in the waste. Residue provides valuable

organic fertilizer. Simple to build and operate. Low

maintenance requirements. Can be efficiently used to run

cooking, heating, gas lighting, absorption refrigerators

and gas powered engines and no smell.

This issue about methane gas generator is a waste to

energy that can produce methane gas from chicken manure and

this methane gas can be converted to a very useful

substance now a days and this is called heat or fire. In

today's culture, fire is a vital part of functioning as a

society. Simple tasks, such as cooking generating heat,

light, signaling, and propulsion purposes.

In this study, the researchers wanted to use chicken

manure by methane gas generator to produce methane gas and

it will be converted to electricity.

Statement of the Problem

developing a stove powered by methane gas

Significance of the Study

Nowadays, our environments are already polluted with

different wastes from us human. And it causes many problems

that can harm us, like different diseases. The researchers

observed that we throw our garbages anywhere and we don't

know we are destroying our environment already.

The problem can help burn organic waste in order to

fight the growing presence of human waste. And it can also

help destroy the growing amount of garbage into landfills

worldwide. This can provide like a LPG tanks also through

burning of organic solids into energy for the local

population.

It is useful because it burns and destroys medical

waste and items that are composed of organic toxins in

order to safeguard humans from contamination, infection and

possible death. It can also be used to manage certain

materials that cannot be disposed of properly by simply

dumping them in another location due to issues of public

health and safety.

These days, we all know that the fuel we used for

cooking are already very expensive and many of us are

complaining because of the non-stop increasing of the

price. And thats why the results of this study can help

the students to provide a cheaper alternative for cooking

so that it can lessen the expenses of many of the Filipino.

So that we can used also the manure instead of just letting

it decomposed. And help in reducing the wastes. This is for

the Filipinos or for those who wants to try a cheaper gas

in cooking. And as well, would provide a good basis of

information that may serve as a context of reference to the

future researchers who become eagerly absorbed in this

study.

Scope and Limitation

The scope of the study includes the feasibility of

chicken manure to produce methane gas and this will be

converting to heat/fire which is for our daily necessity.

The researchers will no longer spend more money in

producing this. The researchers will just create to find

methane gas for us to convert and produce powered methane

gas stove.

Actually, using the homemade methane gas stove is one

of the cheapest equipment that the technology invented for

us to use. This is acquired for one day. The researchers

will do their best in conducting this study in order to

form a comprehensive decision based on relevant facts.

Theoretical Framework

Based on our researches and with the help of our

Environmental Chemistry and Physics teacher, the

researchers discovered that we could make a substitute for

the expensive LPG tank; the researchers will use the

powered methane gas stove as a substitute for it.

In our research the researchers are going to use

chicken manure because this materials that produces and

collect the methane gas in it and convert it to heat to

produce fire for cooking.

REVIEW OF THE RELATED LITERATURE

Related Literature

Methane gas generator/stove provides an oxygen-free

environment where the waste can be converted into methane.

Methane is produced by the fermentation of organic matter

including animal waste or any other biodegradable

feedstock, under anaerobic conditions (without oxygen).

Aerobic (with oxygen) bacteria break down raw materials

into compost. The difference between a compost pile and a

digester is the presence or lack of oxygen during the

break-down (fermentation) of the organic matter. There are

two types of digesters, batch and continuous feed. A batch

digester is filled with material, sealed off, and left to

produce gas. The continuous feed unit has openings that

allow you to add fresh waste to the unit and remove spent

slurry. Both types can be scaled to suit the availability

of suitable feedstuff. In smaller domestic sized units the

fresh waste can be typical kitchen vegetable waste and the

slurry is used as a valuable garden fertilizer. Bigger

units are made to handle the waste from large farms where

The slurry can be spread onto the fields. By methane

gas generator it is possible to generate electricity from

natural gas or biogas using a number of systems. In all

cases the steps that must be gone through are twofold,

chemical energy to mechanical energy, and then from

mechanical energy to electrical energy.

Methane is a chemical compound and a component of

natural gas found easily in the earths crust. It has no

smell, color or taste. The methane in the atmosphere

oxidizes into carbon dioxide and water. Methane is a

naturally occurring gas on planet earth, and thus can be

found in many places both naturally and artificially by

humans. It is these two elements within space and time that

make methane (the primary molecule in natural gas) very

unique amongst other substances. Methane is a stable,

simple molecule composed of one carbon atom, and four

hydrogen atoms. The molecular formula for methane is CH4

and is a non-polar molecule. Thus, the relationship between

the carbon atom and the hydrogen atoms is uniform and

mutual. Methane is relatively less efficient (per megawatt

hour) than coal and oil power, respectfully. It is our

third most efficient power source (nuclear energy aside).

It is also the third least-expensive (per megawatt hour)

power source available. The basic premise behind methane /

natural gas energy is: Combust the substance under the

right conditions, and you will make water vapor (to power

turbines and other power creating technologies) and carbon

dioxide (CO2). Natural gas power is now a technologically

and relatively "greener" method of energy than its cousins,

coal and oil. Methane, CH4, is a chemical compound composed

of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. It is one of

the most common gases in the universe, as well as on Earth.

While it is valued for its energy-production capabilities,

methane also has the ability to potentially wreak havoc on

the Earth's fragile ecosystems. Therefore, the gas has

properties that are both good and bad.

Methane is a type of alkane, which are compounds

composed only of carbon and hydrogen atoms in various

numbers. In fact, its the simplest form of alkane. Despite

the smells that some may be tempted to associate with

methane, it is odorless and colorless. Its simplicity may

be partly responsible for its proliferation in many

different places and settings. Even many lifeforms produce

some amount of methane. Wetlands and oceans are where most

of the Earth's natural methane is produced. Thus, the gas

is sometimes called swamp gas. Approximately 40 percent of

the world's methane is produced through these areas.

However, half the world's methane comes from human sources,

such as burning fuel and raising livestock. Each is roughly

equal in their methane contributions. Interestingly, some

plants and animals produce methane through aerobic

processes and others do not, studies have shown. In fact,

variations can even be found within species. For example,

it is reported that one-third of people may produce

methane, but the rest do not. There is no universally-

accepted explanation for this.

Chicken manure is a good choice for making methane. A

single pound of poultry droppings can produce up to 10

cubic feet of gas, more than any other livestock waste.

After the gas production is complete, the leftover sludge

is excellent garden fertilizer. Organic farm waste, also

known as Manure, particularly cow, swine and chicken

manure, is being used to yield energy in the form of

methane, or bio-gas using anaerobic digestion technology.

This technology not only helps farms manage their animal

waste, but also produce part or all the energy their farm

operation requires. By capturing and storing carbon dioxide

from bio-gas into the ground, the bio-gas becomes carbon

negative and scrubs our past CO2 emissions out of the

atmosphere. Chicken manure is very high in nitrogen and also

contains a good amount of potassium and phosphorus. The

high nitrogen and balanced nutrients is the reason that

chicken manure compost is the best kind of manure to use.

But, the high nitrogen in the chicken manure is dangerous

to plants if the manure has not been properly composted.

Raw chicken manure fertilizer can burn and even kill plants

if used. Composting chicken manure mellows the nitrogen and

makes the manure suitable for the garden. Chicken manure is

becoming a renewable energy source of choice for many

countries.

It was previously reported that the Netherlands were

planning to use the waste product to power over 9,000

homes, and now the UK is also planning a similar venture in

the Cotswolds region. The plan is to convert a local

Alfagy biogas station so that it uses agricultural waste,

such as feedstock waste and manure, to create electricity.

Dutch Biomass Plant to Use Chicken Manure to Power 90,000

Homes. In the latest development of large-scale biomass

energy production, the Netherlands is now home to the

worlds largest biomass power plant running only on yep,

you got it chicken manure. Though biomass energy schemes

are hardly anything new, (see these "power to the people"

projects in California, China, India and Uganda) its a

matter of scale and the plants dual objective to provide

an alternative source of energy, while tackling a serious

problem: namely, the high environmental impact of an excess

stream of chicken droppings. As Dutch agriculture minister

Gerda Verburg announced during the plants opening last

week, the plant will convert one third of the countrys

total 1.2 million tons of poultry waste produced per year,

or 440,000 tons. Located in Moerdijk, Zeeland and running

at a capacity of 36.5 megawatts, the plant will generate

more than 270 million kilowatt hours of electricity per

year enough to power approximately 90,000 households. The

Dutch multi-utility company Delta, which constructed and

operates the 150 million euro plant, is calling it a

carbon-neutral effort as it will preclude the emission of

greenhouse gases such as CO2 and methane from chicken

waste, which is usually laid out as fertilizer over vast

tracts of farmland. Previously, over 800,000 tons of Dutch

poultry poop had to be processed abroad at a high cost.

Now, the remaining ashes of the manure will be sold as a

fertilizer rich in phosphorus and calcium. Furthermore, the

Dutch cooperative "Duurzame Energieproductie

Pluimveehouderij (DEP)" (Sustainable Energy Production in

the Poultry Sector) gives its 629 poultry farming members a

eco-friendly and profitable waste management option by

allowing them to provide chicken waste to the power plant.

Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the

chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and

various reaction products. The flame is the visible portion

of the fire and consists of glowing hot gases. If hot

enough, the gases may become ionized to produce plasma.

Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities

outside, the color of the flame and the fire's intensity

will be different. The discovery of fire, or, more

precisely, the controlled use of fire was, of necessity,

one of the earliest of human discoveries. Fire's purposes

are multiple, some of which are to add light and heat, to

cook plants and animals, to clear forests for planting, to

heat-treat stone for making stone tools, to burn clay for

ceramic objects.

Fire in its most common form can result in

conflagration, which has the potential to cause physical

damage through burning. Fire is an important process that

affects ecological systems across the globe. The positive

effects of fire include stimulating growth and maintaining

various ecological systems. Fire has been used by humans

for cooking, generating heat, signaling, and propulsion

purposes. The negative effects of fire include water

contamination, soil erosion, atmospheric pollution and

hazard to human life.

Waste to energy in Payatas

There was a research in 2003, waste to energy facility

in Payatas that converts methane gas to energy, the main

material is methane gas and they are using incinerator. It

helps the hundreds of people living in Payatas to have

electricity. RP seizing opportunities from investments in

greenhouse emission reduction. What was once known as a

lowly and grimy activity of cleaning up garbage is turning

out to be a profitable venture. This is the luck of the

Payatas waste disposal system in Quezon City which is

becoming the Philippines first waste-to-energy project

anticipated to be registered with the Kyoto Protocols

Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) possibly by yearend.

Drilling on the dumpsite, covering a total of 22 hectares,

is ongoing. Thirty three gas wells are expected to

penetrate 15 to 21 meters deep down into the bottom of the

waste pile. The gas ventssteel pipes that are almost one

meter wide in diameterhave slots at certain intervals

through which methane gas is absorbed and is then

transmitted up toward the planned power facility. By

November this year, the Quezon City (QC) Controlled

Disposal Facility (CDF), run by the QC local government

unit (LGU), expects to have a 200-kilowatt power capacity

fueled by methane emitted from the decomposing waste from

the site. The project will save fuel cost since methane is

taken for free. It will electrify the LGUs waste dump

operation while excess power supply will be sold to the

power grid. However, it is not the income from electricity

thats really prompting investments of P200 million in the

Payatas dump site. Its not where (good) income will come

from. Were taking the risk here because we know from

experience that once its approved by the local DNA

(designated national authority), it will already get

approval (from the CDM executive board), said Jennifer

Fernan Campos, Pangea Green Energy Phils. Inc. (PGEP)

president. PGEP is the project developer. Once registered

with the CDM executive board, the Payatas project will

enjoy earning carbon credits granted as incentive for

reducing emission of the greenhouse gas (GHG) methane which

is 21 times more polluting than carbon dioxide (CO2). When

captured and flared, methane simply releases CO2, 20 times

less the global warming effects of methane.

Manure to Energy Feasibility Study

For Duncann`on Borough

Funded by: The Chesapeake Bay Commission

January 2008

Studies have shown that past and current agricultural

practices have led to an increase of nutrients to the

Chesapeake Bay. At the same time, agriculture has changed

dramatically over

The past several decades to monoculture. With manure

becoming concentrated on areas of limited acreage, the

utilization of the manure has become more difficult. As a

result, specific areas throughout the country have been

identified as having excessive nutrients. The issue with

excessive nutrients has resulted in the need to find

alternate uses for this agricultural residual. One

alternative use is electricity generation from manure. The

use of manure for this purpose offers numerous benefits

including a potential reduction in nutrients reaching the

Chesapeake Bay, a step towards the goals of the Alternative

Energy Strategy Portfolio, and an outlet for farmers to

dispose of excess manure. This feasibility report is the

result of a grant project from the Chesapeake Bay

Commission with the following tasks:

Identification of stakeholders;

Collaboration with Five Winds International on the Life

Cycle Assessment;

Identification of potential credit trading;

Evaluation of technology; and

Recommendations for future funding.

The Scenario

The feasibility study was developed around a hypothetical

scenario in which a manure to energy power plant would be

constructed within or near Duncannon, Pennsylvania to

provide approximately 2 megawatts (MW) of electricity for

the residents of Duncannon Borough using poultry litter as

a fuel source. Poultry litter would be trucked from manure

exporting poultry farms within a 50-mile radius of

Duncannon (see Appendix 1). However, it may be

economically feasible to obtain fuel from as large as a

100-mile radius depending upon transportation costs.

Readily available wood waste would be added to the poultry

litter to create a uniform fuel which combusts more

efficiently. The proposed mix would be 70% poultry manure

and 30% wood waste. The plant would generate electricity

for the residents of

Duncannon Borough and any excess could be sold to the grid

to create additional revenue. A Life Cycle Assessment

(LCA) was completed to present the environmental and

economic feasibility for a 2, 5, 7, and 10 MW plant.

Procedures

A. Methane Gas Generators

1. Drill a hole in the side of your plastic jug

large enough for the tube to slide through.

Insert the tube 2 inches deep, then duct tape

around it to ensure the jug stays airtight and

the straw doesn't fall in or out.

2. Attach the plastic bag to the other end of the

tube. Tape the mouth of the bag closed around the

vinyl tube again, so no air can get in.

3. Choose your waste material. Manure, especially

chicken manure, produces the most methane, but

compost will also work.

4. Mix your waste material with a handful of straw

or newspaper strips. Add in a third as much water

as you have waste material; for example, if you

have three pints of waste material, add one pint

of water. Stir until the waste material, water,

and straw or newspaper are thoroughly mixed. The

result is called slurry.

5. Pour and seal the slurry in your plastic jug.

Stir the slurry gently each day to speed

decomposition and to keep a hard crust--which

will trap oxygen and interrupt methane

production--from forming. To stir, pin the tube

closed with your clothespin at the jug end so no

slurry will escape into the bag. Swirl the jug

around lightly for a few seconds. When you

finish, put the jug down and unpin the straw.

Make sure the straw is open again and not bent

shut.

6. Wait. In two weeks (at about 50 degrees Celsius)

to two months (at 15 degrees Celsius) bacteria

 will have eaten all the oxygen inside the jug,

and methane will form and be caught in the bag.

7. Pipe the methane source into the fuel input of

the gas stove. The specially designed gas stove

is for cooking and produces fire. Connect it with

vinyl tube.

Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers will determine the quality of the fire

based on the color and take down the minutes that the

researchers work will lasts. The researchers will have a

sort of qualitative information where will show how

effective the fire produce from chicken manure.

was checked daily including shaking the water jug to mix it

well and put it under the heat. The researchers find out

that the homemade powered methane gas stove can produce a

small bit of blue flames in a few seconds but blue flames

are one of the hottest flames and it also can trigger fire

and chicken manure can produce methane gas which causes the

balloon to expand.
 CHAPTER V

Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation

This chapter describes the problem, research design,

and the findings. These are brief, generalized statements in

answer to the general and each of the specific sub-

problems. And a suggestion as to what is sensible thing to

do under circumstances.

Summary:

This feasibility study, states that chicken

manure as a source of homemade methane gas stove. The

researchers need to create the homemade methane gas stove

when we were doing the experiment although we experience

some challenges like the plastic tape, the vinyl tube, the

weather and the time, but we found the solutions for these

problems immediately, the problem for the plastic tape is

it doesnt hold for a long period of time so the

researchers used electrical tape, for the vinyl tube its

melting because of the methane gas and we used chemical

hose and for the weather, it is always rainy ,and our time

is short because we cannot attain the temperature needed.

Conclusion

The researchers concluded that the methane gas

will produce a blue flame, the blue flame means more hotter

flame and environmental friendly not like the orange or the

red one, after releasing the methane gas in the container

it indeed smells so bad and its another fact that there is

indeed methane gas presence on our set-up and because of

the methane gas, the flame become more powerful, the

researchers become successful in their research even though

they just saw a small fire.

Recommendation

The researchers as a result recommends that you must

do it 2 months before you test because of the unpredictable

weather that we have now, and you may use other waste

materials such as animal manure, biodegradable garbage and

food leftovers as homemade methane gas stove.
