Quinton Fivelman [email protected] Digestate Liquor Waste Commonly used as a raw liquid fertiliser on land Problems of run-off, leaching and pollution of water courses – not enough land to spread it Cannot spread liquid onto wet or water-logged fields as fertiliser/soil improver Costly to be disposed of in wastewater Used treatment plants - £££ Complex storage and transport issues and large liquid volumes Liquid fertiliser UK companies are rapidly facing a digestate disposal hurdle Negative impact on the development of AD Anaerobic Digestion produces a With capacity in AD large increased amount of waste liquor forecast these simple disposal techniques are unsustainable Confidential © 2014 AD Fertiliser Technologies Benefits of ADFerTech Patent-pending system for existing and new AD plants with range of feedstock – avoidlow-cost any changes/modifications ADFerTech is a bolt-on system that converts AD wastethere liquid value-added granular fertiliser At present areinto no commercial treatment processes specific to AD liquor Can store fertiliser and transport easily to be used later Remaining liquid is low in nutrients so can be easily disposed of via wastewater or natural water bodies. Competes on nutrient cost basis with expensive synthetic fertilisers: significant cost saving for agriculture Offers very significant agricultural and environmental benefits Confidential © 2014 AD Fertiliser Technologies ADFerTech Team, Partners, Awards Dr Chi Mangwandi (CSO): chemical engineer with background in particle and adsorption technology.
