Since May 2016, the new container dryer for digestate at Bioenergiepark Saerbeck has been in operation. The dryer with air purification processes about 16 tons of liquid digestate daily, converting it into granulate-like, high-quality fertilizer. The digestate comes from renewable raw materials such as maize, pig manure, and grass, sourced from the immediate vicinity of the plant. The dried digestate is marketed in handy 5-liter pails or 20-liter bags.
“The 7200-inhabitant municipality Saerbeck in the heart of the Münsterland (NRW) has been involved for years in climate protection and energy policy. She has driven the switch to renewable energy, now produces a multitude of its own electricity needs from wind, solar and biomass, and continuously pursues the goal of CO2 neutrality.”
