ES45-LIFE Smart Fertirrigation/FRTGN

Fertigation with pig manure digestate

Description

Integrated pig manure digestate processing for direct injection of organic liquid fertilizer into irrigation systems

Sector

A1.4Animal production

Needs/ Problem statement

pig meat production generates large amounts of manure leading to important environmental problems and many anaerobic digestion plants have been established to convert the pig slurries into biogas and digestate. While biogas can be transformed into renewable energy, the digestate has untapped potential

Objective

to demonstrate the environmental and economic feasibility of an innovative approach to processing digestate from pig manure at biogas plants
