Determination of poultry waste biogas potential and plant layout optimization: Example of Düzce provi̇nce

Humanity has directed to new and renewable energy sources because of Occur in the exhaustible nature of traditional energy sources and in the coming years to reach the depletion of reserves. Nowadays new and renewable energy sources as solar, wind, biomass etc. energy sources used and increasingly continue the use. Biogas production by anaerobic decomposition of poultry waste is an important alternative energy sources. Also, biogas production and fermented chicken manure is converted into fertilizer. 3-4% of body weight is obtained from poultry feces up everyday. Average a poultry are produced 22 kg / year feces. In this study, the number of poultry in Düzce will be determined and demonstrated the potential of biogas. The optimization operation will be done taking into account of capacity of poultry farms in Düzce for the location of the biogas plant and coordinate data. After the clustering of these locations with clustering methods is intended to determine the optimum plant location with simulated annealing to find the closest plant to all of these positions.
