A preliminary study of the project compost

production

I. INTRODUCTION

Make use of the palm trees to produce fertilizer to

the soil where the farmer combines remnants of bark
and palm leaves and shamrock cores and dead palms
or infected with pests and insects are being burned all
with animal waste and then embedded in a deep hole
called (Tabanh) to aperiod of time until the ferment
and turn into ashes any manure and then extract and
singled out on the soil surface and plowed land made
up so my compost helps soil fertility and quality of
crops.

And must spraying fertilizer

with pesticides to avoid the
presence of worms and
insects in it.

Is the date palm source of

many necessary for some
industries raw materials list
and projects on palm products
has led to an effort to develop
the technology for some of these industries, including
compost alternatives industry, one of the small
industries that can be set up in farming communities,
where available palm cultivation and agricultural
equipment.

You need the palm trees that are growing under

normal circumstances remove some of the fronds and
palm leaves and securities as part of the maintenance
process Here they give one palm approximately 100
kg of palm leaves and fronds that contains a high
content of protein and organic matter.

The need to build the project

Organic fertilizers are considered basic and important

element in fueling private farms in seedlings and
ornamental plants and the fertilizer manufacturer
types of palm residues, which are available in large
quantities in the rural communities and the prices of
these types of fertilizers imported from abroad are
high up the price per ton of
which about 100 dinars
therefore found it
appropriate to encourage
investment in this area and
that fits employment in
agricultural communities
and that the necessary
domestic market of these
fertilizers to compete with
imported ones and from here it is clear the importance
of the proposed project

Raw Materials

Raw materials needed are available for this project

from the fronds and palm fronds, where results from
one Palm about 100 kg / year and the advantage
complex high content of nutrients and organic matter,
and we will find that a ton of palm fronds and palm
leaves produced from 10 Palms and it when a project
to produce 90 tons of manure a year of this project
will require a number of palm trees ranges between
900: 720 palm with a note that the collection of palm
leaves and fronds season is in the months of
September and October to January and February each
year.

It is also the raw materials used in fertilizer production
project, some additives such as steroids and some
biological compounds free of salt and water.

Products

The project could produce multiple products

including, for example:

1. Organic fertilizers.
2. production of silage as feed for livestock.
3. The project will be headed in the early stages to
the production of organic fertilizers from palm
residues.

Substantive elements of the project

manufacturing stages

Manufacturing stages of the products of this project

depends on addressing the palm remnants of fronds
and palm leaves by composting with the addition of
some chemical stimulants or biological The
composting process in the air of the most efficient
biological processes used for the treatment of organic
waste in general because it is through the elimination
of the causes of diseases and weed seeds during the
fermentation process antenna in addition to reducing
the volume of waste.

Dependent manufacturing stages in this project on the

use of matrices system in the composting process
after chopping with the addition of some of the
components of the spray water free of salinity and
tonic biological and some chemical compounds and
elements.

The composting process is divided into two phases:

A. The first stage:

Takes about a month and where the machine by

flipping own inversion Almkmurat periodically with
adding water when needed.

B. Phase II:

It takes about a month to complete the final

fermentation process

)2( the size and location:

The total area of about 400 m2 equipped with the

following:

building space matrices 5 6 m = 30 m2

number of matrices 10

)3(the required service requirements:

The project requires 220-volt electrical source with

capacity of 3 Ikl.oat with the provision of free of salt
water source at a rate suitable for the disposal of the
consumption of about 1.5 cubic meters per day with a
special equipment project in closed places for good
aeration and up the cost of supplies during the
service project one month is about 30 dinars.

)4(machinery, equipment, fixtures:

The project is characterized by relying on ordinary

farm equipment, which are used in dealing with raw
materials and products.
