The project FERTIMANURE focuses on innovative nutrient recovery technologies treating animal manures or digestate and on the evaluation of applications of Bio-Based Fertilisers (BBFs) produced at five pilot installations and Tailor-Made Fertilisers (TMFs) as blends of BBFs and (synthetic) mineral fertilisers and/or biostimulants for crop specific applications. One of the tasks within the FERTIMANURE project is to develop a practical approach for the production of centralised TMFs (Task 3.2. Centralised production of Tailor-Made Fertilisers and D3.2) to be carried out within WP3 in the period July 2021 (M19) and June 2024 (M54) of the project. In this final report the approach is described regarding data requirements, methodology, tool and preliminary results are presented. Data of the composition of BBFs are derived from the pilot installations monitored within WP2. The approach focuses mainly on the production of TMF for crops used in the field tests and pot trials within WP4 where the agronomic values of BBFs and TMFs are determined. The approach to produce TMFs started in the second year of the H2020 FERTIMANURE project (M13-M24), and was update in year 3 (M36) and at the end of the project (M54) based on new monitoring data (WP2). Task 3.2 “Centralised production of Tailor-Made Fertilisers” is led by Wageningen Research and the partners involved are Fertinagro, University of Ghent, University of Milan, University of Vic, DARP and Agri. This report describes the product specification and practical criteria for producing TMFs for selected crops (Deliverable 3.7) to be published as report in June 2024. In the FERTIMANURE project and tasks of the WPs, it was never meant to develop a TMF-tool, but it helped in structuring the approach and data demand. The involved researchers of Wageningen Environmental Research (WENR) have put a lot of additional time into the process of TMF-production in order to develop and finalise the TMF-tool and to make it user-friendly for broader distribution. We would like to acknowledge the pilot plants and staff of APF (NL), Fraunhofer (D), UGent (B), LEITAT (ES), RITTMO (F) and UMIL (IT) who delivered information about the quality of the produced BBFs and information on the distribution and application of their products. Furthermore, we would like to thank Mirko Cucina and Fabrizio Adani of the University of Milan and Ivona Sigurnjak and Erik Meers of the University of Ghent for their contribution to data collection as part of WP2 and WP4, respectively, and finally Kimo van Dijk (WENR), Berta Singla Just (Uvic), Nicolas Thevenin (RITTMO), Carlos Ortiz (GENCAT), Laura Diaz Guerra (BETA Technological Centre), Ruben Vingerhoets (UGent), Sophie Schönfeld (Fraunhofer Umsicht), Ana Robles (Uvic), Mon, 07 Oct 2024 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10854/180157 2024-10-07T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10854/8584 D2.6.

FERTIMANURE pursues the improvement of several technologies that are either currently under development or that have been successfully used for similar applications and proposes innovative integrated solutions to finally reach a zero-waste manure management approach. In work package (WP) 2 (Nutrient recovery from animal manure), five different on-farm pilots were implemented during the first year of the project, and they will be operated and optimised from M13 to M48. WP2 activities are implemented by partners having different profiles: scientific partners (UVIC, LEITAT, WENR, RITTMO, UGENT and FHR), farmers (APF, CPV, APCA), public bodies (DARP, APCA) and technology providers (DORSET). During the demonstration period, the pilots were closely monitored for operational performances at the level of processes, as well as for the stability and quality of raw products/fertilizers produced, getting both mass and energy balance. These balances provide a deeper understanding on the overall system (Task 2.3 - Mass and energy flows and balances of the demonstration on-farm pilots). Data collected in this FERTIMANURE task coupled with those coming from constructors and partners involved in this project, will be useful to update and optimize processes by a continuous feedback approach, to make them sustainable from both the economic and environmental point of view. Doing so, complete mass and energy flows and balances has been performed to frame a picture as far as possible close to reality. At the same time, environmental data was recovered according to a list delivered by WP5. Deliverable 2.6 (Mass and energy balance of the on-farm pilots to WP5) reports final mass and energy flow balances of the different five on-farm of FERTIMANURE pilots, therefore updating and finalising the D2.3.

FERTIMANURE pursues the improvement of several technologies that are either currently under development or that have been successfully used for similar applications and proposes innovative integrated solutions to finally reach a zero-waste manure management approach. In WP 2, five different on-farm pilots were implemented during the first year of the project, and they have been operated and optimised from M13 to M42. WP2 activities were implemented by partners having different profiles: scientific partners (UVIC, LEITAT, WENR, RITTMO, UGENT, FHR), farmers (APF, CPV, APCA), public bodies (DARP, APCA) and technology providers (DORSET). During the demonstration period the inflow and outflow streams for each on-farm pilot were monitored, and the quality of the BBFs was determined and optimised within Task 2.2. Analytical ad hoc protocols were proposed for each BBF to assess its quality in terms of physical, physic-chemical properties, and the presence of toxic chemical elements and molecules, and pathogens. Results from Task 2.2 were necessary for the activities of other FERTIMANURE WPs as follows: • WP3 (Production of tailor-made fertilisers and quality assessment): BBFs characteristics are needed to allow the formulation of tailor-made fertilisers (TMFs). • WP4 (Demonstration of the end-products performance: incubation, pot-tests, and field trials): BBFs characteristics are needed to set up experimental assessment of BBFs and TMFs. Deliverable 2.5 aims to provide information about the characterisation of BBFs produced in the five FERTIMANURE pilots after optimisation. This deliverable is divided into six subsequent chapters. First, a brief introduction describes the context in which the research is carried out. The second chapter summarizes the array of chemical analyses to be used to characterize the BBFs. Then, the third chapter reports the results from the BBFs characterisation that was carried out during the operation of the pilot plants. The following chapter describes the optimisation work performed during the operation of some pilot plants to obtain BBFs of higher quality. Afterwards, chapter 5 will compare the obtained BBFs characteristics with what is stated in literature. Lastly, the report ends with a general evaluation of Task 2.2 at M48.
