Abstract
Livestock manure solid fuel has been studied as a promising domestic energy resource for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in agricultural fields. To successfully commercialize this technology, the environmental facilities require optimization in accordance with domestic environmental standards. In the present study, a computational analysis model of a livestock manure solid fuel boiler system was developed using Aspen Plus® to investigate nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions and NOx conversion efficiency using urea-based selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR). All data were compared across different livestock species and simulated at various operating temperatures. The simulation showed that NOx emissions were the highest from chicken manure and the lowest from swine manure. However, when converted to an oxygen concentration of 12%, NOx emissions were the highest from cattle manure. Dominant factors influencing NOx emissions through a range of temperatures were analyzed, and the optimal operating temperature range (875-950°C) was derived.
