PROJECT TITLE: ManuREfinery - Smart modular mobile biorefining of manure to zero-waste maximising resource and nutrient recovery for feed and fertiliser bioingredients in rural areas. CORDIS ID: 101157679.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project aims at deploying a smart, modular, mobile and sustainable small-scale decentralised biorefinery that will convert livestock manure into added value biobased feed (microbial protein, caproic acid, protein enriched grass cake) and bioingredients (sodium nitrate, ammonium bicarbonate, p-rich ashes) for fertilisers.
Task to be performed include: basic and detailed engineering of pilot plants. Design, construction, and operation of bioreactors for the enrichment and optimization of microbiological processes such as nitrification, methane-to-protein conversion, and syngas-to-protein conversion. Operation of pilot plants at AGROCESA farms (Spain) and temporarily at farms owned by DENVER and INTEPROD (Romania) and the Agricultural Institute of Slovenia. Preparation of reports/papers and presentations. Other project-related tasks.
