Digestate Disposal Costs and PFAS Contamination: What UK AD Operators Need to Know
Digestate disposal costs can determine whether an anaerobic digestion plant operates profitably or becomes burdened by an expensive liquid by-product. For many plants, particularly food-waste AD facilities, the problem is not producing digestate. The challenge is finding sufficient suitable land, storing the material until it can be used, transporting a predominantly liquid product and demonstrating […]
Digestate Transport & Storage Solutions Guide
Digestate is a nutrient-rich byproduct of anaerobic digestion that can replace synthetic fertilizers. Proper storage and transportation are crucial to benefit from its nutrients while complying with regulations. Understanding SSAFO regulations and ADRF documentation is key for seamless digestate management and transport solutions across the UK…
Can Digestate Fertilizer Save Farm Soil Nutrient Costs? Benefits, Uses & Advantages
Digestate, a nutrient-rich bio-fertilizer, can significantly reduce soil nutrient costs by replacing expensive synthetic fertilizers. Through anaerobic digestion, it delivers essential nutrients while enhancing soil health and crop yield. Discover its benefits, best practices for application, and how it can revolutionize sustainable farming practices…
Biogas Permit Requirements for Anaerobic Digestion and Digestate Management
Biogas permits are regulatory approvals required in England and Wales for anaerobic digestion (AD) plants to operate, ensuring environmental compliance. Similar instruments exist in the EU and US. Have you ever felt like a solid anaerobic digestion project started falling apart the moment you needed to get a biogas plant permit, and the environmental permitting […]
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 […]
