Project code: 03KB081C
Contract period: 01.09.2013 - 29.02.2016
Budget: 168,524 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research

Project goal is the development of an efficient, energy-self-sufficient process chain for the joint fermentation of poultry manure and straw up to small technological scale. The first step is the development of an integrated treatment technology (disintegration and compaction of straw) to a significant improvement of transport and handling costs. Second, an optimized fermentation technology should be designed which is characterized by maximizing biogas yield, optimal nutrient and water management, efficient stirring and mixing as well as avoiding sinking layers. In addition, the fermentation residues have to be transferred for material and energetic use (fertilizer production and energy recovery, particularly pyrolysis). The Rückert NaUrgas GmbH (since 2020: Rückert GmbH) is responsible for the selection and the logistics of the poultry manure samples, as well as the digestate from the anaerobic digestion plant with high share of poultry manure. Rückert designs the experimental fermenter and tests the different processes for the treatment of the digestate and the process water (dewaterment, nitrogen removal and drying).
