The individual planning concept was created in 2007, taking into account the specifics on site and using existing containers and units. The technical implementation was carried out by the plant operator himself. The large-scale functionality of the process was demonstrated in practical operation on the fully automated digestate treatment plant.

Digestate treatment system GNS at a biogas plant (3 MW electricity equivalent) with biomethane production (2011-2012)

After the ammonium nitrogen has been removed, 70% of the liquid fermentation residues are returned to the biogas plant. The high proportion of nitrogen that enters the biogas plant with the poultry manure can thus be almost completely removed from the process and converted into mineral fertilizers. Heat recovery from the fermentation residue treatment can also supply the neighboring chicken fattening farm with heat.
