Meet the PHOS4green Experts at the VDI Technical Conference Sewage Sludge Treatment 2019 in Mainz, Germany

The VDI conference “Sewage Sludge Treatment” will take place for the tenth time this year. Discover phosphorus recovery with PHOS4green and check out this innovative technology for fertilizer production out of phosphorus recyclates from sewage sludge ashes! Benefit from the information about this phosphorus recycling technology given by Dr. Thomas Jähnert, Glatt, in his lecture ‘PHOS4green Hochleistungsdünger aus Klärschlammaschen’ (PHOS4green: High-performance fertilizer from sewage sludge ashes)

PHOS4green presented @ Sewage Sludge Technical Forum 2019 in Berching, Germany

In some regions, the departure from agricultural sewage sludge use is coming faster than the sewage sludge ordinance requires. This was demonstrated at the sewage sludge specialist forum held by the Huber company in Berching, where a good 300 participants discussed concepts for sewage sludge utilization, phosphorus recovery and inter-municipal cooperation.

Jan Kirchhof, Glatt, presented PHOS4green as a solution for phosphorus recovery from sewage sludge ash and its residue-free conversion into commercially available standard fertilizers.

New waste-free process produces fertilizer from phosphorus-containing ashes

With “PHOS4green” Glatt presents a new two-stage method that extracts phosphorus from sewage sludge ashes and converts it into ready-to-use fertilizer granulates. In cooperation with an industrial partner and the Material Research and Testing Institute of the Bauhaus University Weimar (MPFA) Glatt has developed a highly efficient process to extract phosphate from sewage sludge ashes, which is then converted into residue-free, ready-to-use standard fertilizers using fluidized bed spray granulation.

Small quantities, big effect – Agglomerates from the fluid bed

Whether a fortified protein bar or an instant drink becomes a bestseller clearly depends on how well the powdered ingredients can be integrated into the recipes and consumed. Glatt’s compact plant concept now makes the advantages of property configuration by means of fluid bed technology economically viable for medium-sized productions as well.

PHOS4green presented at the DWA Conference 2019 in Weimar, Germany

The DWA Technical Committee KEK-3 for “Thermal Sewage Sludge Treatment” deals with the experiences and developments of thermal sewage sludge treatment in plants for mono- and co-incineration and the utilization or disposal of the resulting ashes.

During the meeting of the technical committee on April 03, 2019 in Weimar, Jan Kirchhof, Senior Sales Manager Process & Plant Engineering, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH, presented PHOS4green as an innovative solution for phosphorus recovery from sewage sludge ash and its residue-free conversion into ready-to-use phosphate standard fertilizers.
