Economic analysis of nutrient recovery technologies paired with anaerobic digesters for manure management and bioenergy production.
Anaerobic digesters are increasingly used to convert manure and other organic wastes into renewable energy while reducing environmental impacts. This publication examines the economic feasibility of integrating nutrient recovery technologies with anaerobic digestion systems on dairy farms. The analysis evaluates three nutrient recovery approaches that can operate alongside digesters to recover phosphorus and nitrogen from manure streams: phosphorus-containing fine solids separation, struvite precipitation, and combined ammonia stripping with phosphorus settling.
