  1. Characteristics of anaerobic-digested manureAnaerobicdigestion: A way to enhancenutritional performance of animal manure Torben Ravn Pedersen National Specialist Biogas and Slurry Separation

  2. Subejcts • Danish Agricultural Advisory Service • Manure handling in Denmark • Biogas in Denmark • Nutritient value in treated manure

  3. Danish Agricultural Advisory Service

  4. Manure types in Denmark

  5. How is slurry spread in Denmark?

  6. About 60 farmscale biogas plants in Denmark

  7. 20 centralized biogas plants

  8. Biogas Biogas rests on tree legs Energy Agriculture Environment

  9. Agricultural advantages • Improved fertilizer value of nitrogen • Balanced P and K-balance in slurry • Homogeneous and light fluid • Full declaration of nutrients • Bacteria-free and seedless • Reduced costs for transportation of slurry

  10. Environmental advantages • Reduced nitrate leaching • Reduced odour problems • Reduced green house gas emission • Controlled recycling of organic waste (turns waste into valuable fertilizer)

  11. Mixing and digesting slurry change the characteristic of the slurry
