Digestate Slurry Emissions and Acid Addition – AFBI Study
Recent research conducted at the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) in Hillsborough, County Down, has revealed groundbreaking findings on reducing emissions from digestate slurry. They found that digestate emissions of ammonia are higher for digestate spreading than for traditional methods, and suggested a simple solution. This is not in itself a big concern, as the […]
16 Uses for Biogas Digestate Very Few AD Plant Owners Have Heard of
Biogas digestate it’s use, or disposal is often a vexed question for anaerobic digestion plant owners. Many consider their digestate (i. e. the solid and liquid AD Plant output) to be no more useful than for spreading on their fields. That may be a great use for it and will reduce chemical fertiliser bills. Some, such […]

Sustainable NPK Green Fertiliser Technology Uses Digestate to Replace Non-renewable Alternatives
A new sustainable NPK fertiliser technology has been patented (using digestate) which makes a conventional NPK mineral fertiliser replacement tailored for customer’s fields. Not only does this technology utilise digestate fibre, but it also uses the carbon dioxide captured, either: during biogas upgrading to pure biomethane, or from the biogas engines used to generate electricity. […]
Digestate Separation Trailers and a New Breed of Contracting Businesses
Leading digestate separator manufacturer Borger UK hires out digestate separation trailers. This innovative development is capable of providing enhanced digestate value for biogas operators without the need to invest in a fixed separation facility. Regular visits to biogas plants in the UK by a digestate separation service allows stored biogas plant output to be processed […]
Digestate Drying – Is It Viable Environmentally and Economically?
In the evolving landscape of sustainable agriculture and waste management, digestate drying emerges as a promising solution. Digestate, the byproduct of anaerobic digestion processes, offers significant potential as a renewable fertilizer. However, the process of drying digestate demands considerable energy, primarily in the form of heat. This raises a critical question: Is digestate drying environmentally […]
Fibrous Biogas Digestate Enhancement and Treatment Techniques
Digestate Fibre – Current Uses, Future Potential, and Treatment Innovations Fibrous digestate (also known as digestate fibre) is a byproduct of the anaerobic digestion (AD) process, where organic materials decompose in the absence of oxygen to produce biogas and a nutrient-rich residue. It emerges in the form of a slurry of water with dissolved soluble […]
Unlocking the Potential of Digestate Fertilizer for Sustainable Farming
Farmers often spend too much on chemical fertilisers (also known as mineral fertilizers because they are mined from geological deposits). These can harm the soil and the environment. Finding a better way to grow crops is a big challenge. Digestate fertiliser from anaerobic digestion is a strong solution. It uses organic waste to make nutrients […]

Side Stream Ammonia Stripping from Biogas Digestate and 4 of Its Many Benefits
Learn about biogas digestate side stream ammonia stripping (better known to the uninitiated as “ammonia removal plus return the flow back where it came” and its many advantages. For years this amazing opportunity to raise profitability and bioreactor process stability has seldom been discussed. We decided to promote this simple technology and to do so […]
Responsible Digestate Storage and Optimizing the Use of the Fertiliser
Managing digestate storage can be tricky, and there is plenty of room for confusion given that digestate has two forms: liquid and solid fibres. One fact stands out: improper management of either can lead to environmental harm, but it is the liquid form that causes the most concern. This article will show you ways to store and manage liquid […]
Digestate Monitoring for Productive Biogas Plant Operation and Low Downtime
Very few people have written about digestate monitoring for productive biogas plant operation, but careful sampling and analysis of the digestion process is essential for any commercial anaerobic digestion process. It’s essential, to reliably achieve high methane yields and the lowest downtime periods. By referring to digestate monitoring in this article, we also make the […]
