THE BRUSSELS POST, JUNE 4,1980 —
BY DEBBIE RANNEY
Nu-Teck .Farms Ltd. is planning on
starting something, a little different in the
Brussels area--a pilot plant with 500 hogs
where Charlie Thomas says they hope to
gain some expertiSe in converting agricul
' tural waste into food and fuel.
The project is to be done in several
phases, but the first phase is to build a hog
barn and Nu-Teck FarmS has been working
with the Ontario Research Foundation to
develop a process of utilizing manure to
make protein and fuel. Mr. Thomas said
'they're also interested in converting
agricultural wastes such as straw and wood
chips.
At' present,' the project is only in the
planning stages, but if things go well, they
plan to start building' the hog phase about
the first of September and will be working
years. the
,other phases over the next two
STANDARD BARN .
The barn will be a standard hog barn but
with the manure handled just a bit
differently and using a liquid manure
system. The manure can be handled as a
total or separated product and this will allow
the production of two different types, of
fuel—methane and ethanol.
The , methane will be used as an inplant
source of energy and the ethanol will be a
source of surplus fuel. The manure and other
by-products will also produce a high protein
concentrate which will be used to feed the
hogs. Actually, the fuel is a by-product of the
protein, Mr. Thomas

now available. but Mr. Thomas said what
they're doing is demonstrating that
technology at a farm scam}.
Although they won't be producing a..,
fuel for at least another year at the earliest,
Mr. Thomas said they're hoping that when
they get some expertise in the field that
they'll be able to market the' system to other
ADVANTAGES
Some advantages of the farm --scale
operation are that it's close to waste
materials which are all agricultural in nature ,
and it energy efficient becriuse the material,
used for inplant material would otherwise be
wasted. Another advantage is that livestock
operations wouldn't have any iluent
leaving the barn which is a problem of
livestock operations that are adjacent to
built-up areas.
"It would give us the advantage of being
able to produce a fuel that would be useful in
the local area," Mr. Thomas said.
Mr. Thomas discussed his project with the"
Ontario Research Foundation, the Ministry
of Agriculture, the University of Waterloo
and a number of other industries and used
information from all sources.

Nu-'leek ', Farms Lid, is a family ,
operated company . with Charlie as the
manager. ,
• The plant will be located on lot 27 on, the
second concession of Morris Township.
Another advantage of such a project
would be to extend agriculture up north
since livestock feed could he made from the
cellulose in trees.
