This paper addresses the possibility of using poultry manure pyrolysis to obtain energy- efficient products. Poultry manure pyrolysis is the intended technology of combustion for both ecological and energy generation purposes, obtaining coke and gas fuel. The waste subjected to pyrolysis had a behaviour very close to that of the inferior coal. This is also confirmed by the elemental analysis; high moisture value raising issues when direct combustion is used. The combustion of the poultry manure through various technologies, including pyrolysis, using also another fuel, is a secondary result. Waste management represents a current major concern, especially for modern society who faces the pressing problem of their storage. Thermal treatment is a solution adopted in several circumstances. The results obtained show that waste behavior is very close to that of inferior coal. Power consumption for pyrolysis process falls within satisfactory limits; bellow the heat obtained by burning pyrolysis products. Pyrolysis fuel products, represented by semi-coke and coke, are likely to be used to produce energy. The paper presents a practical way of economic and ecological exploitation of the garbage from the poultry farms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
