Development of a Reference Plant for Sewage Sludge Incineration

Rumaenien

Summary/Description:

The EEW Group intends to expand their existing waste-to-energy facilities by adding an incinerator for sewage sludge at several locations. The separate incineration of sewage sludge is a prerequisite for the recovery of phosphor from its ashes, a requirement under the reformed sewage sludge ordinance.

The construction of sludge incinerators at existing waste-to-energy sites allows the harnessing of synergies between both facilities, which makes the operation more economic compared to a green field project.
