Kastellin (Châteaulin), France
Unique about the plant in Kastellin (Châteaulin) is that the digestate is being treated afterwards with a cost-effective technology, which cleanses digestate to disposable waste water. The cleaned water is also being used again for the digesters. This way the amount of nitrogen in the digester is lowered to acceptable levels to prevent inhibition of nitrogen fixation activity which is required given the large input of chicken manure. The biogas plant is fed with chicken manure, pig manure, cattle manure and organic waste streams and produces enough biogas equivalent to the annual natural gas consumption of 2,250 households.
