2.3. Solid Waste Treatments Systems
2.3.1. Power generation
The hatchery waste can be automatically fed by conveyor belts into a furnace which is equipped with a rotating shredder unit for chopping and grinding solid waste. An incinerator system can be used as a furnace to heat the solid and liquid waste to produce steam. The steam can power a turbine generator to produce electricity [25]. The use of a steam turbine at a hatchery may only be economic if the hatchery is producing a large volume of waste.
