Turkey droppings fuel power plant

It may not be the total answer to relieving the United States' addiction to foreign oil, but the plant will burn 90 percent turkey dung and create clean power for 55,000 homes.

Maybe, just maybe. Coupled with the Changing World Technologies Thermal Conversion Process may be the biggest thing since sliced bread or Edison's lightbulb. TCP is more than 80% energy efficient. In addition, it generates its own energy to power the plant, and uses the steam naturally created by the process to heat incoming feedstock, In addition, TCP produces no emissions and no secondary hazardous waste streams.
 
I like news like this.

Somebody has to ask this question... I'll take one for the team...

When you're experiencing brownouts... uh.. do you give the turkeys laxatives for uh.. emergency fuel production?

Thanksgiving is going to be dark.

Indy, I think you just feed them prunes or something.

There is another group or maybe the same, that can take any organic material as well as old tires etc and create oil.  The have a protoype in Philly I think and are building a plant in the midwest somewhere.  

Ironically there are no Gov grants or interest.  That would be too smart and then we couldn't start wars for oil either lolh.

Bananas work for cattle.

If you could "Cold Water Fussion" a turkey...would that then be "Turkular Power?"

coool

did you hear about  this power plant ?

its most cool power plant i ever saw

That wasn't clever, stop smiling!

So in like 20 years the waste companies will be paying ME for my crap.

Literally.


Man , SOB and Fatty gonna get rich!

There's a plant around here that taps methane from a landfill and powers like 10,000 homes. Pretty cool stuff. I think I read something a while back about a plant that was using chicken and turkey renderings from processing plants to make oil.

Changing World Technologies Thermal Conversion Process is the process used at the Butterball plant in Carthage, Mo.

I read somewhere that during the war, the London buses ran on methane gas from pig manure. Anyone know if this is true?

I read an article on it a bit more than a year ago.  at that time they were using a 'recipe' to feed it the guts from slaughtered turkeys.  they must have found the droppings more efficient.  but the article I read said they could switch to any sort of fuel for input, with only adjusting the times, temps, and pressures.

There's two different processes here, both apparently successful.

Changing World Technologies has the plant in Carthage, Missouri that uses thermal depolymerization to turn just about anything into biodiesel.

The NEW plant is in Minnesota and uses only turkey droppings.

Two different technologies, both of them good things. Taking waste and making energy. Good deal all around.
