Closing the loop in pig farming through integrated valorisation
This demonstration site in Spain focuses on the valorisation of liquid pig manure by combining energy production with nutrient recovery. The demo applies integrated technologies to recover biogas and nutrients under real farm conditions.
Liquid manure management is a key challenge for pig farms, often leading to nutrient losses and environmental pressure. This demo explores solutions that recover both energy and nutrients, supporting more sustainable manure management.
Liquid pig manure is processed through anaerobic digestion to produce biogas, followed by nutrient recovery steps that capture ammonia. This integrated approach demonstrates how multiple value streams can be generated from manure.
The demo combines anaerobic digestion with ammonia recovery technologies. Together, these technologies improve energy recovery and nutrient efficiency at farm level.
The demo supports reduced environmental impact, increased renewable energy production and improved nutrient management. It also demonstrates scalable solutions for farms dealing with liquid manure streams.
