How to Improve Soil Health: The Planet Saving Role of Compost and Digestates
How to Improve Soil Health is a pressing concern. It was the subject of evidence Dr Jane Gilbert from Carbon Clarity gave oral evidence on behalf of CIWM to the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee at the House of Commons recently. Her presentation was provided with an emphasis on the value of compost and […]
Digestate from Anaerobic Digestion: A Valuable Nutrient-rich Liquid for Sustainable Agriculture
Using digestate from Anaerobic Digestion provides a valuable plant fertiliser. In fact, unlocking the potential of digestate is vital for the sustainability of the agriculture sector. There is nothing else quite as good when you take a holistic view of its many benefits. Digestate is a valuable nutrient-rich liquid produced from the process of anaerobic […]
Anaerobic Digestion Basics and 5 Tips on How AD Works
We bring you the Anaerobic Digestion Basics (AD) and if you scroll down, 5 tips on how AD Works. AD is in-truth an unhelpful acronym for the basic age-old natural process that produces renewable energy as heat and biogas, and at the same time makes a natural crop fertilizer. That, in a nutshell, is basic […]
Drying Digestate from Biogas Plants – Fluidised Bed Fertiliser Advances
Drying digestate from biogas plants has major benefits. In the advanced TEMA Process™ a fluidised bed dryer dries the residual waste after digestion (the solid and fibrous (thick) portion of the digestate slurry). The mixed stream of the thick fraction and the concentrated thin fraction is dewatered to 70-75% Moisture Content. This is followed by […]
Screw Separation of Biogas Digestate is Now a Farm Favourite
Screw Separation of Biogas Digestate is a commonly used method of dewatering digestate. It uses mechanical pressure to separate organic fibres and larger particles from the liquid. The resulting liquid which flows out through the screen is usually suitable for use as a natural bio-fertiliser, for use on the farm. The exception to this can […]
How to Use Digestate from Anaerobic Digestion Plants in Agriculture
It’s not plain sailing to use digestate in agriculture, so we thought that we would explain how one farm uses their digestate in their agricultural business in the UK. Using Digestate from Anaerobic Digestion Plants in Agriculture Anaerobic digestion is a controlled biological process using biodegradable materials such as food waste and animal manures, to […]
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 […]
5 Advantages of Digestate Separation Using Borger Bioselect Digestate Separator Technology
In this article, we identify the five top Advantages of Digestate Separation using the Borger Bioselect digestate separation technology, available from manufacturer Börger GmbH Borken-Weseke, Germany. Scroll down to see the list of the top advantages! Liquid/ Solid Separators (also known as screw separators) are a widely used separation technique for digestate separation in biogas plants […]
Sustainable NPK 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. […]
