Fluidised Bed Combustion is a technology that reliably converts Poultry & Piggery Manure into heat and electricity for use on a Poultry or Piggery Farm. It can also be used for municipal solid waste. 

Over 10 years BHSL have developed and patented Fluidised Bed Combustion (FBC) Technology to reliably convert poultry manure into heat and electricity for use on the poultry farm. 

Immediately after birds are depopulated, poultry manure from the poultry rearing sheds is transferred to a bio-secure building which is completely sealed once the doors are closed.

Over the next flock the manure is automatically transferred to the BHSL plant which converts the manure into heat or heat and electricity. The process is overseen by the BHSL Remote Operations Centre and meets strict European and Internatioonal emissions limits.

Poultry manure is a byproduct of a biogenetic process at an industrial scale. Growing chickens can present the farmer with many challenges and while good practice does monitor and manage the litter the primary concern will always be the production of chickens, not the production of manure.

A farmer cannot guarantee what the moisture content of the manure will be from batch to batch.  A reliable solution is only possible if the process can automatically adjust for variations in manure moisture content.

Manure handling must be automated and capable of conveying the fuel which can vary between dry, wet, sticky or caked.  The BHSL Toploader is energy efficient and easily maintained as all the moving parts are above the fuel.  After being loaded into the bio-secure storage area, BHSL 24/7 operators oversee the material handling process and can remotely observe and overcome problems if required.
