[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 860678, member: 192"] A 500kw AD plant will have 10-12,000 tonnes of digestate to spread. Do you mean liquor but you say digestate? If its 'digestate' then it will come out of the plant as PAS approved so you tip in field piles to suit the size of the field with the application rate. My understanding is that all AD plants are PAS approved. If this one is not then I would not get involved as you could have the EA on your heels in a few years time as you need 'deployments' to field piles and then spread because its a 'waste' not a product your spreading. Cost wise £1.50-1.70/tonne will get you a contractor with loader. You can do it yourself for about 50p/tonne less but may not be worth the hassle. The big cost is the haulage of it and if your tipping in fields next to the AD plant up to fields 10 miles away and its about evenly proportioned then your looking at about £3.50/tonne delivered. Generally if you budget on £5/tonne delivered and spread your about there unless of course all the land is next to the plant. [/QUOTE]
