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

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, a mineral acid and, depending on the objective, other components. 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 after the desired grain size has been reached.
