CarboPHOS – Phosphorous recovery through hydrothermal carbonisation of sewage sludge
Description
CarboPHOS develops a technological solution for the recovery of phosphorus from sewage sludge using the hydrothermal carbonization process. An overview of the availability of P-species in Swiss sludges is being compiled and the technology chain HTC - filtration - crystallization is demonstrated in pilot scale.
