Objectives

One of the main objectives of the project is recovering and valuing organic subproducts from laying farms, which management is very problematic and costly nowadays, using an innovative composting system. The aim is also to reduce the Environmental Impact of the manure treatment, specifically GHG emissions and bad smells. Apart from that, the project also targets the production of high-quality organic or organic-mineral fertilizers, in order to reduce the use of mineral fertilizers and improve soil quality and biodiversity. To sum up, this project wants to demonstrate the possibility of creating a new business for those farmers into the Circular Economy.

Objectives

Desarrollar un nuevo modelo de negocio de Economía Circular basado en la producción de abonos orgánicos u organo-minerales de alta calidad mediante la valorización de la gallinaza, cuya gestión actualmente supone un coste y un problema para las granjas productoras de huevos, a través de un innovador sistema de compostaje. Al mismo tiempo, el proyecto persigue reducir el Impacto Medioambiental del tratamiento de la gallinaza, disminuyendo las emisiones de GEI y malos olores, así como la reducción del uso de fertilizantes de síntesis, con el objetivo de proteger los suelos y su biodiversidad.

Activities

1. Layer manure treatment: composting of the manure with the innovative COMPO machine;

2. Characterization of the generated product, an organic fertilizer;

3. Search for ideal formulations of new fertilizers for specific crops (that are economically viable and competitive), mixing the product with other organic or mineral materials;

4. Granulations process to get a product that can be applied with conventional spreaders;

5. Application of the new fertilizers in several crops;

6. Collection and dissemination of results.

Activities

1. Tratamiento de gallinaza: compostaje con el innovador equipo COMPO;

2. Caracterización del producto generado, un abono orgánico NPK;

3. Búsqueda de formulaciones ideales para cultivos específicos (que sean económicamente viables y competitivos), mezclando el producto con otros materiales, ya sean orgánicos o minerales;

4. Proceso de granulación y peletización para dar un formato adecuado al producto, para que sea fácil de aplicar con abonadoras convencionales;

5. Aplicación de los nuevos fertilizantes en cultivos de patata;

6. Recopilación y divulgación de resultados.
