After-treatment technology for urban wastewater sludge

Rehabilitation of the wastewater treatment plants, recommendation of national strategy for sludge management to use it in the agriculture as much as possible;

Limit capacities of storage for sludge within water utility facilities.

Achieving a composting technology, short time obtained from the waste treatment and waste water treatment plants of a product with high potential for fertilization of agricultural land; Transformation of difficult waste disposed of station treatment plants into a valuable, marketable product, that will help to increase the benefit of water-channel operator; recovery and valorisation of other types of waste (plant ones); end product - compost as fertilizer.

pilot tested; IP rights received
