How Digestate Evaporators for Anaerobic Digestion Plants add product value and aid organic waste disposal.
In this article we consider the recent developments in liquid digestate evaporation technology, where evaporators can either be used to improve the marketability of the liquid digestate output from biogas plants by heat pasteurisation, or by reducing volume the digestate to reduce disposal costs.
Digestate in its raw form straight from the digester, is a heavy form of fertilizer, to transport to markets and the result of that is to make it expensive to deliver to markets which may be remote from the biogas plant.
So, the sale of digestate in its much lighter and more concentrated crystaline form, after evaporation, may make commercial sense if the digestate is created in a region abundant in AD Plants such as a dairy farming region, but sold for use on arable land.
“At the core of the HRS digestate process is an evaporation plant using HRS patented scraped surface digestate evaporator technology that is self-cleaning and guarantees uninterrupted operation for periods of over 6 months.” [Link removed – Linked page longer available.]

ᔥHRS Heat Exchangers wins €1.3 million contract from Scottish and …
The Barkip Anaerobic Digestion plant will be the first of its kind to incorporate a novel digestate processing stage: Waste heat from the CHP engines is used to concentrate the liquid fraction of the digestate into a nutrient rich liquid fertilizer.Under the terms of the contract, the HRS technology will enable the Barkip Anaerobic Digestion plant to process 75,000 tonne’s of waste annually, in a plant setup that produces around 2.5MW of renewable electricity which will contribute towards Scotland’s renewable energy industry.
