Mitigate the negative impact of turkey manure on the environment and general public in As Samou.'
The project aims to address the environmental challenges posed by raw turkey manure heaps in As Samuo, with a focus on mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed strategy involves the construction of a 24m by 24m plastic house standing at 4m in height. Within this facility, efforts will be directed towards sustainability through the implementation of various measures.
To efficiently manage organic waste, including cardboard, vegetables, and fruits, the project will acquire a composting machine. This machine will be locally designed and manufactured in an automation workshop, ensuring it meets specific criteria such as height, length, width, input and output openings, with a production capacity of at least 3 tons per hour. This design allows for scalability, with the potential to produce up to 4,000 tons annually during regular working days and 6 hours per day.
In addition to the composting machine, a filling and sealing machine will be procured, featuring two scales with capacities of 12.5 liters and 25 liters, respectively. This machine, also locally manufactured, is essential for packaging the compost in easily transportable bags, thereby facilitating handling for workers and accessibility for buyers. To support the operational aspects of the project, the acquisition of 15,360 12.5-liter reinforced transparent plastic bags is planned. An additional 23,040 bags of the same specifications will be procured to accommodate future compost production. Furthermore, a machine for turning and lifting (back holder) will be rented to manage the poultry manure within the facility, ensuring efficient processing.
The project also entails establishing a partnership with a waste supplier to secure a consistent supply of raw materials for the composting process. This agreement will involve 42 transfers across three cycles, each requiring 14 transfers. Each transfer is anticipated to contain approximately 20 cubic meters, weighing 18 tons.
To ensure the sustainability of the project and its products, a comprehensive marketing plan will be developed, emphasizing the promotion of compost made from turkey manure, vegetables, and fruits. This multifaceted approach aims to not only address environmental concerns but also establish a viable and marketable solution for the community.
