Abstract:
Anaerobic digestion is widely used as an important source of renewable energy. With the increasing number and capacity of biogas plants also adequate treatment technologies for the digestate – the residue from anaerobic digestion – are gaining attention. In this study the state of the art of digestate treatment is analysed and currently used treatment schemes and the various technological processes involved are evaluated. The study combines data and experiences from existing large-scale digestate treatment facilities in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Italy as well as know-how from technology providers and relevant research projects.
