Processing of the liquid fraction

Membrane filtration (reverse osmosis)

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;

1. Coagulation-flocculation or Separation by centrifugation -> microfiltration -> reverse osmosis;
2. Ultrafiltration -> reverse osmosis -> stripping-ammonium absorption;
