Bio Ammonia Plant: Ayop, Chrismarie Grace Casipong, Rejean Josol, Eliana Mae Lopez, Fritzie Claire Montejo, Rey Ernie

This document discusses using corn cobs as a biomass source for an ammonia plant. It notes that corn is an important crop in the Philippines, with over 14 million people relying on it as a staple food and 50% of livestock feed consisting of corn. Corn cob, which makes up 20-30% of the corn ear by weight, is proposed as a biomass feedstock due to advantages like waste reduction, low cost, and environmental friendliness. The country's corn production for January to June 2015 is estimated to reach 3.4 million metric tons.

Corn Cob as Biomass Source

Corn is the second most important crop in the Philippines.


About 14 million Filipinos prefer white corn as their main
staple and yellow corn accounts for about 50% of livestock
mixed feeds. Some 600,000 farm households depend on
corn as a major source of livelihood, in addition to transport
services, traders, processors and agricultural input
suppliers who directly benefit from corn production,
processing, marketing and distribution.

Corn Production in the


Philippines
The January-June 2015 production of
corn may reach 3.40 million MT
Corn cob is part of the corn ear on
which the kernels grow, comprising
about 20- to- 30 percent of the corn
ear weight.
The use of corn cobs as a biomass
feedstock offers promising
possibilities for renewable energy
production

Advantages of Using Corn Cobs as


Biomass
Waste Reduction
