SEaB Power Ltd, which trades as SEaB Energy, is a UK based company. SEaB Energy is the first to market a patented, compact and modular anaerobic digester (AD) to convert organic wastes into energy and revenue directly at the point of waste production. SEaB's flagship product, Flexibuster, is a containerised anaerobic digester that includes a pasteurisation process that safely turns organic waste into useful and valuable energy, fertiliser and grey water while eliminating the necessity and costs of transport and disposal of organic waste elsewhere. These systems have achieved technology readiness level 9 (TLR9) and have been deployed in the UK, Italy, France, Portugal and USA.Our project will take place at The Centre for Dairy Research (CEDAR), a unique, world-renowned facility for applied and strategic animal research, situated at the University of Reading's Hall Farm at Arborfield. Research at CEDAR addresses many of the key issues for the sustainability of animal production systems, and demonstrating success at CEDAR could inspire other farms to adopt our innovative methods, leading to industry-wide reductions in ammonia emissions.The main technical challenge we are addressing is the reduction of ammonia emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in agriculture. This is significant due to ammonia's detrimental environmental impacts, including eutrophication and contribution to greenhouse gases.This grant will be used to to systematically examine how varying operational parameters and feedstock compositions in the Flexibuster affect the production and mitigation of ammonia emissions from specialised small scale Anaerobic Digesters, and new ways to utilise the nutrient rich digestate, and evaluate the environmental and commercial impact of the capture and responsible use of ammonia.We will conduct an economic feasibility assessment of the optimized system. The ultimate goal is to understand the potential commercial viability of our solution and its environmental benefits and develop the plan for phase 2\.The results from this research will not only contribute to the knowledge base on ammonia emissions in agriculture but could also spur the development of new products, services, or processes associated with anaerobic digestion. By refining the operational methods of the Flexibuster, our project will provide practical solutions that align with both environmental sustainability and economic viability. In doing so, we hope to make a significant contribution to sustainable agricultural practices and the overall reduction of the sector's environmental impact.

Seab Power Ltd作为SEAB Energy交易，是一家位于英国的公司。 SEAB Energy是第一个销售专利，紧凑和模块化的厌氧消化池（AD），将有机废物直接转换为废物生产时的能源和收入。 Seab的旗舰产品Flexibuster是一种容器化的厌氧消化池，其中包括一个巴氏杀菌工艺，将有机废物安全地转化为有用和宝贵的能源，肥料和灰水，同时消除了其他地方的有机废物的运输​​和处理成本。这些系统已经达到了技术准备工作的第9级（TLR9），并已在英国，意大利，法国，葡萄牙和美国部署。our项目将在乳制品研究中心（CEDAR）举行，这是一个独特的，世界著名的设施，用于应用和战略性动物研究，位于Arborfield的Reading's Hall农场。 Cedar的研究解决了动物生产系统可持续性的许多关键问题，并且在锡达证明取得成功可能会激发其他农场采用我们的创新方法，从而导致氨气排放的全行业减少。我们正在解决的主要技术挑战是从农业过程中减少氨的氨发射。 This is significant due to ammonia's detrimental environmental impacts, including eutrophication and contribution to greenhouse gases.This grant will be used to to systematically examine how varying operational parameters and feedstock compositions in the Flexibuster affect the production and mitigation of ammonia emissions from specialised small scale Anaerobic Digesters, and new ways to utilise the nutrient rich digestate, and evaluate the environmental and commercial impact我们将对优化系统进行经济可行性评估。最终的目标是了解解决方案的潜在商业生存能力及其环境收益，并制定第2阶段的计划。这项研究的结果不仅将有助于农业氨排放的知识基础，而且还可以促进与厌氧消化相关的新产品，服务或过程的发展。通过完善灵活性的运营方法，我们的项目将提供与环境可持续性和经济生存能力保持一致的实用解决方案。在此过程中，我们希望为可持续的农业实践做出重大贡献，以及该部门环境影响的总体减少。
