Abstract—The paper presents the results of research study
focused on gasification process applied to industrial feather
waste for syngas production. The waste used for the
experimental campaign was sampled from a local
slaughterhouse, directly from the poultry processing line to
preserve the product real characteristics. Based on
physical-chemical composition, established experimentally,
steam gasification process using a laboratory scale tubular
batch reactor was used. The results offer efficient solutions to
poultry process industry, one of the fastest growing sectors
from food industry with considerable amounts of waste
generation annually by increasing the competitiveness and
energy recovery. The composition of syngas consists in high
percentage of H2 up to 43%. The study results contribute to a
new vision of going green, improving the sustainability of
communities and the health of human and finally offering a
solution regarding the waste management of a problematic
industrial waste.
