KYIV. March 7 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Myronivsky Hliboproduct (MHP) has announced a project for building a new biogas complex at Vinnytsia poultry farm.
According to a company press release, this project will be implemented within the planned expansion of Vinnytsia poultry complex and foresees two stages. At the first stage, 460 tonnes of chicken manure per day will be processed, at the second stage this amount will double. When construction is finished in 2020, the design capacity of the complex will be 20 MW. The approximate cost of the biocomplex is about $27 million.
“This is a unique project for processing chicken manure, which will not only be the largest one in Ukraine but also in the world. And its main component is environmental friendliness,” company chairman Yuriy Kosiuk said.
According to him, the biogas complex will allow solving the problem of poultry waste utilization and production of energy for own needs.
A biogas plant with a capacity of 5 MW has been operating at Orel-Leader poultry farm, which belongs to MHP, since 2012.
Myronivsky Hliboproduct is the largest poultry producer in Ukraine. It is also engaged in production of grains, sunflower oil, and meat.
