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.

Phosphorus recovery: Like a phoenix from the ashes

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.

Meet the Glatt PHOS4green experts at the POWTECH 2019 Hall 3 / 3-249

Glatt Ingenieurtechnik will be presenting a market-ready process at POWTECH that fulfils the legal obligation of German waste disposal companies to recover phosphorus. In the first step of the two-stage “PHOS4green” process, a suspension is produced from the phosphate-containing ash. The suspension is then spray granulated in the fluidised bed. This results in fertiliser granulates that are available to plants and soil, which can be discharged, filled and delivered directly.

Formulation For Success – Fluid Bed Systemes as Key for the Production of Speciality Fertilizers

From improving durability and flowability through dust reduction to a pronounced depot effect or a targeted nutrient supply via better active ingredient distribution, fluidised bed technology can deliver many benefits. The shape and size of the fertilizer granules can be determined within a defined range. The quantity of fertilizer components delivered to the soil can be adapted optimally, and significantly higher product qualities can be achieved. Solubility and protection against external influences can also be markedly improved.

PHOS4green presented at the State Association of the Recycling Industry Saxony e. V. in Leipzig

Phosphorus recovery on the agenda at State Association of the Recycling Industry Saxony on November 13, 2018 in Leipzig. “High-performance fertilizer from sewage sludge ash”: this was the title of a presentation by Jan Kirchhof, Senior Sales Manager Process & Plant Engineering, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH, Weimar, as part of the program on “Phosphorus Recycling – Opportunities and Challenges in Saxony”.

Phosphate fertilizer from sewage sludge ash

The amended Sewage Sludge Ordinance gradually restricts direct agricultural utilization and requires operators of large sewage treatment plants to recover the phosphate bound in sewage sludge and ashes. A new approach makes it possible to fully recycle sewage sludge ashes and make the phosphate available for standard and compound fertilizers. (article in German language)
