Optimising Algae production with feedstock from AD at lab-scale
Optimization of large-scale cultivation of microalgae on Anaerobic Digestate to minimise or eliminate soybean from the pig diet in order to reduce the pressure on land resources used for soybean production allowing for soil regeneration, while strenghtening the sustainability and commercial viability of Anaerobic Digestion

Enrich Environmental: Microalgae For The Valorisation Of Nutrient-Rich Wastewater From Compost Manufacturing
How to create a circular system in the agricultural sector and how to maximise productivity from terrestrial agriculture systems. This project aims to develop a scalable microalgae biotechnology solution for the valorisation of compost manufacture wastewater (or leachate or runoff) from Enrich Environmental primary production site at Kilcock, Ireland.
