Utilization of Digestate

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biogas Technology

Abstract

The residue of animal manure, straw and other agricultural organic waste after anaerobic digestion is known as digestate. Digestate mainly consists of three parts: undigested feedstock, microbial organisms, and microbial metabolites. The solid part of digestate after mechanical solid-liquid separation or natural sedimentation is called solid digestate, while the liquid part is called liquid digestate. Digestate is rich in nutrients and bioactive substances required for plant growth, so digestate can be used as fertilizer.
