Conference on Environmental Innovation
Presentation of a Project for the Valorisation of Digestate and Wastewater Treatment (November 28, 2024)
- Approach: Integration of advanced photochemical and electrochemical processes to treat wastewater and recover ammonia from the liquid fraction of the digestate, as well as valorising the solid fraction as fertiliser or fuel for energy.
- Benefits:
- Improved efficiency of anaerobic digestion for biogas and biomethane production through new wastewater treatments and development of catalytic materials.
- Positive impact on the development of renewable technologies and reduction of pollutant emissions.
- Worldwide applicability, especially in rural areas with manure and slurry problems.
- Strengthening of public health, security in water and resource recovery, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and generation of business opportunities in rural areas.
- Key impacts:
- Design of efficient processes for the production of energy resources.
- Development of novel wastewater treatment strategies.
- Valorisation of waste from anaerobic digestion technologies for energy production.
