THE NUTRICAS TOOL DESCRIPTION

The NUTRICAS Tool description document contains the most recent description of the calculation models and assumptions that are used in the web-based NUTRICAS Tool.

EXCEL VERSION OF THE NUTRICAS TOOL FOR MASS BALANCE CALCULATION

The Excel version of the NUTRICAS Tool contains the basic calculation models of mass balances for the cascades implemented in the web-based Tool. It provides users with a bit more flexibility to test out mass balances, but as an Excel-file has limited user-friendliness.

WEBINAR ON THE USE OF POLYMERS FOR OPTIMIZATION OF DIGESTATE SEPARATION

Technical webinar training on separation of digestate and the use of flocculants organized in the framework of the SYSTEMIC project (22 april 2021).

During the “Corona-year” of 2020, the SYSTEMIC biogas plants were invited to weekly online meetings, where different technologies for digestate treatment were discussed with their peers, technology providers and scientists.

SYSTEMIC DATABASE

This excel file contains
the composition of different types of digestate, manure and other feedstocks

separation efficiency of liquid-solid separation technologies for digestate

recovery rates for NH3 stripping-scrubbing, evaporation, drying, membrane filtration, ...

The performance or efficiency of the technology is expressed as the recovery rate. This is defined as the fraction of the initial amount of mass, dry matter, organic matter, nutrients, or minerals (N, P, K) that is recovered in the end product.

In the excel, it is found under the blue rows “Recovery rate or separation efficiency (%)”.
