BE46-DIGESMART /DIGST

DIGESTATE FROM MANURE RECYCLING TECHNOLOGIES

Description

manue digestate is used to produce fertilizer with stripping and optional solar drying

Sector

A1.4Animal production

Needs/ Problem statement

Biogas production is efficient at reducing agricultural emission by converting the biomass into electricity and thermal energy (cogeneration), or biomethane, but it also produces a digestate with a high concentration of nutrients (N, P, K) and a volume of around 90-95% of what was fed into the digester. This means that large agricultural areas are required for the application of the digestate (because of nitrate regulations), which often results in long transport routes.

Objective

installation of a new process to minimize spreading digestate flows by treating and recycling the digestate to produce green NPK fertilizers, hence reducing the environmental impact of the agricultural sector, as well as providing an economic incentive
