A total of 26 bio-based fertilizers (BBFs) were collected from 7 pilot installations which recovered nutrients from fishery waste and by-products using 9 different technologies....
Deliverables
sLCA methodology and standards applied to bio-based fertilizers from fisheries/aquaculture wastes
Methodology for social life cycle assessment (sLCA) is based on the UNEP guidelines with similar steps as environmental LCA (figure 1). After using a participatory approach to...
Fish sludge as fertiliser
Fish sludge is a residue from aquaculture, containing fish feces and feed spill. It is rich in phosphorus and contain some nitrogen, and it has a good fertilizer effect. However,...
Bokashi treatment and pelleting of fish sludge
A bokashi mix was added to sludge from filtering effluent at a fish farm and left for storage with parallell untreated. The treatment had no significant beneficial effect...
New biobased fertilizers with capacity as biostimulant
Fertinagro Biotech conducts a physicochemical analysis of the intermediate products produced at AZTI and BARNA (fish protein hydrolysates) and NEIKER (hydrolysed microalgae...
Normative considerations of fishery and aquaculture by-products as feedstocks for BBFs
Within the context of the European bioeconomy Action Plan, the European Fertilizing Product Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 (FPR) plays a crucial role in facilitating and encouraging...
Potential valorization pathways for the marine aquaculture sludge using a biodrying process
The utilization of marine aquaculture sludge in a biodrying process has demonstrated its efficacy as a viable feedstock. This technology offers a dual advantage by unlocking two...
Effluent solids retrieval from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) reared in Recirculation Aquaculture Systems
ABT aimed to increase the solid removal efficiency of the drum-filter by testing polymers in the wastewater before it enters the drum-filter. All types of filtration provided...
Adriatic pilot public outreach workshop
UNIVPM and COPEMO co-organized a workshop at the port of Ancona (Italy) in May 2023 to disseminate about the fish and aquaculture sectors in the region, the technologies involved...
Technical aspects of Adriatic sea pilot
Adriatic Sea Pilot aims to optimise the valorisation process of various by-products from seafood processing industries of the port of Ancona (Italy). Hydro-cyclone, hydrolysis...
Biorefinery scheme of the Atlantic Sea pilot: Part II – Process efficiency
The process was developed from TRL4 to TRL7. The feed rate in Steelhead trout by-products (50/50 heads/frames) were of 5-10 kg/h and 100-200 kg/h respectively. 1000 kg fish...
Biorefinery scheme of the Atlantic Sea pilot: Part I -Process description
The Atlantic case aims at producing BBF’s from fish by-products using ThermoMechanoChemical (TMC) fractionation by twin-screw extrusion. Configured as an extraction tool,...
Quality and safety assessment of fertilising products derived from fishery waste and by-products
A total of 26 bio-based fertilizers (BBFs) were collected from 7 pilot installations which recovered nutrients from fishery waste and by-products using 9 different technologies....
