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

Jan Kirchhof, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik, Germany, presents a recovery technology that releases phosphate from sewage sludge ashes and converts it into ready-to-use 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.

Particles in an onion look – Drying of liquids by fluid bed spray granulation

Particles in an onion look – drying of liquids by fluid bed spray granulation. If liquid starting products are to be converted into bulk materials, both the spray drying and fluid bed spray granulation processes are used. The choice of technology depends on which particle properties need to be set to enable specific applications. (German article)

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)
