Oregon State University received a $749,977 Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) competitive grants program. The grant will fund development of a novel hybrid electrodialysis-forward osmosis process to concurrently recover nutrients and clean water from liquid digestate for safe crop irrigation and production. Key activities to be undertaken include comprehensive experiments to optimize system parameters, study fate and transport of nutrients and emerging contaminants during treatment and crop production, determine effects on plant health and productivity, and evaluate economic feasibility of the integrated process. The research aims to reduce freshwater and nutrient demand for crops while minimizing risks from emerging contaminants in recycled water. Outcomes seek to increase sustainability and competitiveness of U.S. agriculture through 2027.
