The solution for biogas plants

Biogas plants become more and more an important source of renewable energy. The resulting digestate can be used often as fertilizer. However, due to legislation restrictions, the digestate often cannot be completely used up. Storing the digestate mean costs for the biogas plant operator, which could turn the plant less cost efficient.

Epuramat offers a solution for this challenge: After dewatering the digestate, the dried material is converted into pellets that could either be stored, used as fertilizer or be used as fuel for thermal combustion. The remaining water is then treated with the proprietary ExSep®-technology. Once the water is virtually free from solids, it is further treated by ultra filtration. It can now be used as process water or can be directly discharged into open surface water.
