Integrated Anaerobic Digester & Aerobic Composter (i-ADAC)

Technology Readiness Level (TRL): 6

BRIEF TECHNOLOGY

Untreated chicken manure and empty fruit bunches (EFB) frequently employed as organic fertiliser, has raised significant environment concerns due to its potential to contribute pollution and nutrient runoff.

i-ADAC have emerged technology by offering solution to reduce wasteful methane (CH₄) emission associated with organic waste management. This technology will offer agricultural sector to mitigate its environment impact while contributing sustainable practices.

PROBLEM STATEMENT & CURRENT ISSUES

TECHNICAL

Chicken manure and EFB does not meet the adequate C/N ration for AD.
EFB has high lignocellulosic content

OPERATIONAL

Requires technically competent person.
Challenge to upscale or modify.
No all-in-one unit.

USEFULNESS & APPLICATION

Generates biogas and biofertilizer
Cost-effective
Directly scalable via serial connection
Minimal technical know-how
Modular unit
3-in-1: Treatment, storage and utilization
