On December 15, 2014, we received the 3rd Research and Innovation Award from Saxony-Anhalt in the resource efficiency category for the development of our process for digestate treatment. The process enables biogas plant operators to remove nitrogen from digestate without adding chemicals and produce mineral fertilizer. This reduces ammonia emissions from biogas plants and digestate and prevents nitrate pollution of groundwater.
