Processing digestates from biogas plants into fertiliser products

DESCRIPTION OF ACTION

The project seeks to find a technically and economically viable method to process digestates produced from farm animal manure and other side streams of primary agricultural production as a side stream in the anaerobic digestion process into a higher level processed fertiliser product based on recycled nutrients. The project also aims to identify all side streams suitable for the production of recycled nutrients.
