Biorefine
The NWE region with its high population density, intensive industrial and agricultural activity producing large amounts of residues, is an ideal testing ground for tackling these challenges. Through the networks from each of our partners and supported by…
FERTIPLUS
Actions
FERTIPLUS assessed scenarios on amount and quality of organic wastes available within the EU to identify and map their potential for recycling nutrients to soil and plants in biochar or compost.
Production processes for compost and biochar were…
INEMAD
INEMAD addressed the question of which new methods and how new arrangements should be developed to restore the recycling within the specialisation context. To realize these ambitions, the leading principle of INEMAD was a triangular enlargement of…
ManureEcoMine
Technologies of proven efficacy in the wastewater treatment field were combined in several process configurations to demonstrate their technological and environmental potential at pilot scale for cow and pig manure. Anaerobic digestion (mesophilic/…
NutriCycle
NutriCycle contributed to the sustainable development of industrial livestock farming and bio-fermentation as renewable (energy) technology in Flanders. In the first place, the project had a technological approach, but attention was also paid to the…
P-Rex
Phosphorus is one essential element of life, which can neither be produced synthetically nor substituted by any other substance. Its importance as plant nutrient is emphasized by the huge amount of more than one million tons of mineral phosphorus annually…
REFERTIL
The key objectives of the REFERTIL project were improving compost treatment systems and developing zero emission biochar technologies at the industrial scale for safe and economic nutrient recovery processes. Beyond the technological development the…
