Our AD facility produces around 20,000 tonnes of environmentally friendly, premium quality, nutrient–rich organic fertiliser each year. Our digestate bio-fertiliser is rich in Nitrogen (N), Phosphate (P) and Potassium (K). The digestate is pumped straight from the AD plant, via a pasteurisation process and into our on-site lagoon and then onto surrounding farmland, via underground piping network. The use of carbon-intensive synthetic fertiliser is greatly reduced through this process.
In a study undertaken by WRAP (you can find the report here), they state that:
“Anaerobic digestate is a biofertiliser, providing crops with readily available nitrogen. It is an excellent alternative to bagged fertilisers. Using it improves the sustainability of farming by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases associated with fertiliser manufacture, and by reconnecting nutrient cycles.”
PAS110 is the industry recognised standard and quality protocol proves that the materials we produce are consistently high quality and meet all legal/moral criteria required to treat this as a new “product” rather than a “waste”.
Digestate from AD plants is now widely used and Herriard Bio Power’s PAS110 certified product is highly regarded within the agricultural community.
