Processing of the liquid fraction
Membrane filtration (reverse osmosis)
Objective
Removal of small molecules that pass through microfiltration and ultrafiltration membranes
Inlets
Water flow from other processes (see combination with other technologies)
Efficiency
99% of organic matter and up to 99.5% of salts can be removed
Weaknesses
In the case of manure treatment, the K+ ion still remains in the liquid fraction and could limit the use of the water obtained for irrigation depending on the levels reached;
Filtration systems usually suffer from technical problems and today are not economically viable for the treatment of matrices such as digestate;
