The variability on the digesters’ intrants can lead to variability on digestates’ characteristics and quality, with sometimes a poor match with the agrosystems needs (soil, crop, environment) as a consequence.
Our services provide useful information for an optimal C and nutrients recycling through digestate application as fertilizer. These services can be integrated in strategies for replacement of current linear approaches leading to economic losses and negative impacts into circular models.
Our facilities:
- Bench-scale compost reactors (1L to 10L) in controlled conditions and online monitoring;
- Analytic platform for digestate characterization: Kjeldahl, CHON elemental analysis, NIR, 3D fluorescence spectroscopy, ISBaMO® (Organic Matter Bio-accessibility Index);
- Digestate phase-separation post-treatment, dewatering and concentration equipment.
