Success Stories
Zelarino, IT
Italian flagship project
This plant is mainly fed by manure from the farm in which the plant is located. The dry matter of the manure lies between 17 - 25% and contains significant amounts of straw.
Thanks to the feeding technology implemented, the feedstock is finely crushed, enhancing its digestibility and allowing an easier and more efficient agitation of the substrate inside the single process fermenter of the plant. In this way, the plant is able to generate around 3,000 tons/year of solid digestate that can be used as a rich soil improver, and around 11,000 m3 of liquid digestate, rich of nitrogen and other nutrients, that can be used as fertilizer to spread on the fields.
