An Integrated Process of Struvite Precipitation/Membrane Filtration Using Flat Ceramic Membranes Is an Effective Method for the Treatment of Liquid Fraction Digestate from a Municipal Biogas Plant
One method of processing municipal waste biogas plant digestate is to separate it into solid and liquid fractions. Since the digestate can be a potential source of water, it must undergo the appropriate treatment. Pressurised membrane processes preceded by struvite precipitation can be particularly useful in this regard. Experiments were conducted to determine the effectiveness of treating the digestate liquid fraction from a municipal waste biogas plant using an integrated process that combines struvite precipitation with membrane filtration, employing flat ceramic membranes with different cut-off values. The results confirm that this integrated process is effective for digestate treatment. A significantly increased improvement in the final quality of the test solution and a reduction in membrane fouling intensity were observed compared to those of these processes conducted separately. It is noteworthy that the purest solution was obtained when struvite precipitation and filtration through a flat ceramic membrane with a cut-off of 1 kDa were combined. This approach enabled the precipitation of struvite, a valuable fertiliser; the protection of the membranes from fouling; and a high degree of organic compound removal. The recovered water from the digestate (after dilution or removal of excess salts) can be used in agriculture or horticulture.
