    The challenges of poultry waste biogas systems are typically around excess ammonia, excess grit, and managing salt. Possible strategies can include:

    – codigestion with watery feedstocks;

    -codigestion with carbon rich feedstocks; and

    -sidestream ammonia removal.

    Ammonia is very concentrated in chicken manure and ammonia causes digester upset by inhibiting methanogens. For more on a ammonia check out our video on the topic – https://youtu.be/xva-OzOGFHg?si=SCxZ3K7hXRtWze6c
