Phos4You Videos: Phosphorus recovery from waste water

The INTERREG NWE project Phos4You demonstrates about 7 different technologies for P-recovery from waste water. The technology processes are set up at the partner’s locations, partly at urban waste water treatment plants, partly at rural locations depending on the territorial context. For each technology a short video is made to show challenges and implementation of different solutions.  […]

ReNu2Farm agronomic trial protocols for evaluation of recycling-derived fertilisers now online

The ReNu2Farm project aims to increase the use of recycling-derived fertilisers such as composts, ammonium salts, mineral concentrates, digestates, and struvite. This will reduce the use of non-renewable rock phosphate and energy-intensively produced mineral nitrogen fertilisers. For farmers, knowledge of the agronomic value of a fertiliser is crucial. The agronomic value comprises above all, the nutrient value: How high is the nutrient content, and how plant-available are these nutrients? Other aspects are the lime as well as the organic matter value. Also, farmers need to be sure that the fertiliser product is safe and does not contain pollutants such as heavy metals or pathogens. […]

Circular Economy in action: Using digestate to cultivate microalgae for fish and animal feed

ALG-AD is exploring ways to develop a circular approach to microalgae cultivation, utilising the by products from the AD/biogas industry, to generate products of value for another.
The team have built three facilities which are already using the nutrients in digestate to cultivate microalgae.
So far, the ALG-AD team have focussed on production of biomass for use as an animal feed, however additional funding has been allocated to the team to expand on the work already done to also cultivate algae for use as a fish feed. […]
