End and by-products from livestock manure processing

End and byproducts from processing of livestock manure are divided into 11 groups on basis of the processing technology used and their chemical composition.

SELECTION AND DEFINITION

Group of end and by-product (select): 1: Separation solids 2: Separation liquids 3: Thermal and chemically treated manure 4: Digestate 5: Manure compost 6: Dried manure and pellets 7: Ashes and charcoal 8: Filter water 9: Manure processing effluents 10: Manure concentrates 11: Air cleaning sludge

Livestock manure solids, typically with a dry matter content of around 25% and rich in phosphorus and nitrogen.

The signs '≥' means the parameter value is like ('=') or larger ('>') in case there is also indicated a less-than value ('<').

Used units are:

• % for dry matter (DM), volatile solids (VS) and suspended matter
• kg per ton for macro elements (N, NH4-N, P, K, organic C, Mg, Ca and Na)
• gram per ton for trace elements (Cu, Zn, Hg, Pb, Cr and Ni)

Volatile solids (VS) is only a relevant parameter for solid fractions. Biologic oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and suspended matter only relevant for liquid fractions.

The shown values are to be considered as examples, alone, that illustrates the chemical composition for relevant parametres, and as well the variation in the composition. The references must be consulted in each case in order to clarify for instance the analysis method and the exact technologies that were used to produced the end or by-product.

VITO BBT study manure processing (2007); Only the nitrification-denitrification facilities that separate pig or cattle manure as a first step are counted here; in addition: 6 anaerobic digestors use separation by centrifuge for post-treatment of their digestate. We can not distinguish between different separation technologies. therefore they are all counted as centrifuge (= most often used technique).
