and organic fertilisers, with resultant environmental and into socio-economic benefits. The project will develop a biofuels prototype treatment process for pig carcasses to obtain and organic high-quality meal and fat for subsequent use. The process fertilizers will allow flexible operating conditions to optimise energy efficiency. It will meet all the health and safety requirements of current legislation for this type of waste. The meat and bone meal (category 2) and glycerine obtained will be used as new substrates in biogas production in a co-digestion process with pig manure. To improve the efficiency of the anaerobic digestion and optimise the biogas production, the project will implement a new pre-treatment system of the animal inputs, based on ultrasonic technology. Finally, the project will produce an organic fertiliser from the digestate and acidic waste from the biodiesel production process. It will then demonstrate the agronomic potential of this fertiliser.

In this decentralized integrated treatment system wastewater from households and fish system processing industry as well as RAS production water will for the radically reduce stress on the sensitive ecosystems of the Victoria Lake Victoria and will contribute to food and health Lake Basin security. It will be operated fully autonomous by renewable energies (PV, biogas). The RAS will particularly produce high quality fingerlings of the local fish species to supply the pond aquaculture of the area with stocking material. The innovative core idea of the project is to develop and test new technologies which enable the integration of sanitation with the aquaculture in a sustainable manner.
