Sludge Reduction & Valorization
Prepared and Tested
The hydrothermal conversion process transforms the waste into a solid carbon material, the hydrochar, which can be used:
- as a biofuel for the production of energy.
- as soil improver;
- as Advanced Carbon Material, in particular as an adsorbent of pollutants in water and gas.
What is Hydrothermal Conversion (HTC)?
- HTC is a process that destroys the colloidal structure of the sludge permitting to the «Bound water» to become «Free water»
- In this way, HTC technology permits to easily dewater the sludge!
- As a consequence the volume of sludge going to landfill will be much lower respect the current situation
Technology Benefits
- Replication of the HTC Process Conditions
- Possible to use with all types of Sludge both for HTC and HTL
This is an electrical filter press that automatically could treats Sludge/Slurries. The Operative Conditions then will be replicated in the scaled-up system.
