Original abstract

An effluent treatment is one of the major tasks for biogas plant operators. If the treatment is expensive due to transport and application costs it is possible to apply a mass reduction technology and decrease transported amount. Evaporation is one of such technologies. However, the distillate from evaporation process still contains substances, ammonia in particular, which disables its discharge to surface water. Stripping process might be used to remove ammonia and other unwanted substances. The preliminary tests indicate that newly designed evaporator-stripper system can be successfully applied for liquid digestate treatment.
