Technologies and mass balances

Online calculation tool for cost-benefit analysis of technologies mass- and nutrient balance estimation technology exploration for nutrient recovery from digestate
  • 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.

BIOGAS PLANT DISCUSSIONS ON TECHNOLOGIES

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.

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 composition of the end products produced after digestate processing technologies

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 (%)”.

Per technology, estimations are given for separation efficiency and recovery rate investment costs and operational costs use of chemicals energy requirements surface area
