• Orphanage: Casa del Aquila
• Cusco High altitude Temperate climate • Environmental focus Protect water supply Minimize methane release (Cusco, Peru, 2010)
Traditional Method of Disposal
Large Lagoons
• natural, unassisted degradation
• system of staged pools
• eventual recycling as fertilizer sludge (Conti,, 2009)
• Release of methane gas into atmosphere
• Site for pathogens to reproduce
• Leaching nitrates and phosphorous into water supply
• Stench
• (Animal Waste Methane Energy Recovery, 2009) (NORTH CAROLINA HOG Farm Agrees to Comply With Emergency Administrative Order Issued by the EPA , 2000) (Kase, Julie A.; Correa, Maria T.; Sobsey, Mark D.; , 2009), (MRSA found in pigs in the USA. Irish Veterinary Journal, 62(4), 231, 2009)
Biogas Capture Method
Engineered, covered lagoons
(Ferrer, I., Gamiz, M., Almeida, M., & Ruiz, A., 2009) (Animal Waste Methane Energy Recovery, 2009)
Complete Mix Digesters
Heated, covered lagoons
(Animal Waste Methane Energy Recovery, 2009)
Constructed wetland
Filtering system of dense plant roots and gravel
(Chen, S., Kao, C., Jou, C., Fu, Y., & Chang, Y., 2008)
• Covered lagoon (CL)
• Heat/mix covered lagoon (HMCL)
• Constructed wetland (CW)
Cost to install
Waste recovery effectiveness
Potential negative impact to water sources
Reduction of pathogen risk
CW, CL, HMCL
HMCL, CL, CW
HMCL, CL, CW
HMCL, CL, CW
Bypass traditional lagoon methods and install the best alternative system funds will allow. Shown in order of effectiveness and risk minimization:
1) Heat/mix covered lagoon 2) Covered lagoon 3) Constructed wetland
