Novafert database of alternative fertilisers products
The NOVAFERT database provides an extensive portrayal of the current state of affairs for several alternative fertiliser products, including data from 76 value chains derived from six secondary raw materials: treated manure, digestate, sewage sludge, wastewater, bio waste, and biological byproduct.
Detail description
The database includes data from 76 value chains derived from six secondary raw materials: treated manure, digestate, sewage sludge, wastewater, bio waste, and biological byproduct. The categorisation of the database takes following parameters into account:
Technology maturity and readiness level.
Output material (product)
Processing conditions proved the effectiveness of converting crude input material into safe, high-quality fertilising products.
Available CAPEX and OPEX: production costs.
Available legal status (regional/national/EU).
The following primary categories were analysed:
thermochemical nutrient recovery
P precipitation
physical-chemical nitrogen recovery
biological nutrient recovery methods such as composting and anaerobic digestion
You can browse the data by scrolling by products and technologies or through all various parameters. You can filter the products, technology, and/or secondary raw materials by using the drop-down menu.
