Economic viability of stripping and scrubbing for RENURE fertilizer production
Investment and operational costs for mid- to large-scale stripping-scrubbing systems in Flanders, Belgium, with ROI dependent on scale and integration into existing infrastructure
or
Detail description
Ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulphate fertilisers recovered from animal manure via stripping and scrubbing are evaluated in field trials across Flanders, Belgium. The RENURE project, funded under the Rural Development Programme 2014–2020 (€75M), supports medium to large-scale systems (>20,000 tons manure/year) integrated with digesters or N-removal units. CAPEX ranges from €200,000 to €500,000, OPEX is €9–14/ton treated. Payback period: 6–10 years. Fertilisers meet RENURE standards, reduce nitrogen load, lower carbon footprint, and enhance farm sustainability and circularity. Project led by Inagro vzw, with Rumbeke-Beitum as research lead.
