Poultry litter turned into bio-oil

Virginia Tech Associate Professor Foster Agblevor, who is leading the research, said the technology can convert **poultry** litter into three value-added byproducts -- **pyrodiesel, producer gas, and fertilizer**. The pyrolysis unit heats the litter until it vaporizes, the scientists said. The vapor is then condensed to produce the bio-oil and a slow-release fertilizer is recovered from the **reactor**. The gas can then be used to operate the pyrolysis unit, thereby making it a self-sufficient system...
