The EU-supported project Smartmushroom has developed and demonstrated a process which uses biogas generated from fresh SMS to dry a mix of digestate and SMS for conversion into pelletised fertiliser. Smartmushroom’s new methanogenic technique uses hydrolysis followed by anaerobic digestion. The resultant biogas powers a drying process with up to 28 % humidity which, by using condensation and adsorption through sepiolite filters, accelerates water removal from the SMS. The dried SMS can then be enriched with natural nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertiliser, tailored to specific agricultural needs, before being pelletised. The SMS-based pellets were tested as fertiliser for several crops – including lettuce, cauliflower, pepper, tomatoes, broccoli, vineyard and cereal. This was done in greenhouse and open fields in Serbia and Spain. The project built an SMS-ADryer pilot plant at Sustratos de La Rioja, the authorised mushroom waste manager in the region. The anaerobic digesters are installed in a modular container version, as opposed to a concrete building, to accommodate varying SMS quantities. The dryer is composed of a burner which dries the SMS to the humidity required by the production line making the pellets. The system also offers environmental benefits, as the process is carbon sequestrating, transferring atmospheric carbon dioxide into the soil. It also helps mitigate soil degradation by adding fertiliser with up to 50 % organic matter.
