The evacuation and disposal of the waste (by products) from biogas production (digestate/effluents) poses a great concern especially when you have a large facility (industrial scale) and its not situated within or close to a farm. There is need to convert these waste to useful products. This work seeks not only to provide solution to the need to produce enough nutritious food for the growing population while reducing its environmental impact to meet the sustainable development goals but also to address the issue of waste management (digestate) generated from biogas production through;

• Converting waste to energy through a simple technology
• Providing an alternative source of nutrients/fertilizer to the soil for plant growth
• Reducing costs to farmers and increase crop yield
• Generate more income for the farmer and
• Solve the problem of evacuation/disposal of waste from biogas production especially at the National Centre for Energy and Environment. (NCEE BENIN).

AIM

To process digestate from the NCEE biogas digester to biofertilizer for use on agricultural farms.

Objectives

• Analyze the digestate
• Design and fabricate a biofertilizer plant
• Produce biofertilizer from the digestate
• Analyze the biofertilizer produced
• Test/trial on the field/crops.
