“…However, within the PULS research project conducted in 2010–2013 by the scientists from Institute of Biosystems Engineering, 6 harvest technologies and 3 maize straw storage technologies were developed. This and the research that followed have shown the large possibilities of maize straw harvesting and utilization for biogas plants feeding in the form of silage, but also directly as dry material stored in bales [34,57,58]. The farmers should therefore be able to know the moisture content of harvested maize straw.…”

“…There are some ideas to use the maize straw for bioethanol production, solid biofuels, or as a structural substrate for composting in windrows [32,38,58]. However after taking energetic, economic, and agricultural into account aspects, the usage of maize straw as a substrate for biogas plants seems to be the most promising option for the near future.…”

Maize Straw as a Valuable Energetic Material for Biogas Plant Feeding

Maize has great potential, especially as a substrate for biofuels production. The aim of this paper is to analyze the possibility of usage in methane fermentation maize straw harvested in different weather conditions, which had an influence on different physical parameters, mainly the dry mass content. The research has shown that maize straw harvested in Central-Eastern Europe can have a broad spectrum of dry mass content, which is related to diverse weather conditions during autumn. However, independently from moisture content, maize straw can be a good (for more wet material) or very good (for more dried straw) substrate for the biogas plant. With the methane productivity reaching 201–207 m3/Mg of fresh mass, this material is a significantly better substrate than that typically used in Europe maize silage (approximately 105 m3/Mg FM). It was noted that the retention time for maize straw (36–42 days) is longer than in the case of maize silage (less than 30 days). However, this difference is quite small and can be accepted by the biogas plant operators.

“…One approach is to make silage or yellow feed, which can be stored for a long time, and the other method is to reduce the moisture content of the stover by air drying followed by stacking or compression storage. Przybył et al (2018) explored the effects of different treatment technologies on the quality of corn stover silage, and their results showed that silage can effectively improve the quality and storage time of corn stover feed. The corn stover silage in a flexible silo exhibited the best quality.…”

The moisture content of corn stover during the harvest season in the Huang-Huai-Hai region of China is approximately 50%. To achieve rapid off-field transportation and to prolong its shelf life, a method suitable for corn stover with medium-high moisture content was considered based on the stover multistage continuous cold roll forming method. An orthogonal experiment was adopted by taking the moisture content, sterilization method, and inhibitor addition method as experimental factors and taking the shelf life, percent rebound, and density of the molding blocks as the experimental indices. It was found that the steam sterilization method can prolong the shelf life of the molding block the most. The percent rebound and the density were primarily affected by the moisture content, followed by the sterilization method. A comprehensive analysis indicated that the optimal treatment mode was a moisture content of 45%, and the optimal sterilization method was steam sterilization with no inhibitor. In this mode, the molding block can be stored for 72 h without mildew with an average temperature of 32 °C and an average humidity of 48% during the day. The percent rebound was 24.3%, and the density can reach 310 kg/m3 after the completion of rebound.
