providing valuable agronomic by-products for urban agriculture development and so improving the balance of organic products and waste in the city; (4) developing new business opportunities and jobs. In order to achieve these objectives, the project DECISIVE will develop and demonstrate eco-innovative solutions, addressed to waste operators and public services, consisting in: (1) a decision support tool to plan, design and assess efficient decentralised management networks for biowaste in urban areas; (2) eco-designed micro-scale anaerobic digestion and solid-state fermentation processes. Swine-farm The DEPURGAN project aims to bring to the market an 1-9-2015 31-7-2017 Horizon ? ? revolution efficient pig manure treatment process, with an initial 2020 investment 4 times lower compared to other solutions and operation costs being also very competitive. It base its innovative character in the use of an optimized electrocoagulation reactor, that allows nitrogen abatement, while producing as residues a solid fraction that poses great calorific potential as biomass, and a NPK liquid effluent ready to be used as fertiliser. The specific objectives are: (1) minimizing the concentration of contaminants in the manure (nitrogen, phosphorous, metals, bacteria, virus…), (2) treating the pig slurry at its origin, (3) being independent from national subsidies, Its technical and economic viable for the farmer and (4) valorizing the manure (energy recovery and fertiliser).
