• Animal Farms (Swine, Poultry)

– 1000 pigs - 1800 kgs of waste manure/day
» Biogas Production - @ 200 cubic
meters/day
» Power Generation Capacity - @ 400 kw-
hrs/day or 20 kw installed capacity.
» Economic Value – 400 X PhP5.00 = PhP
2,000/day

• FAQ’s or Questions to Ask
– Does your business generate wastes?
– Does your industrial process have a surplus
of heat and/or hot water?
– Are there any technologies that can enhance
current operations? (Fuel/power costs or
operating costs)
