FERTILIZER EU

The new frontier in sewage sludge management

Today, a new technology allows us to go beyond the concept of 'disposal' by transforming sludge into a recyclable raw material, directly on the treatment plant line.

The patented process

Three phases, one transformation: from sludge to a new REACH-recognized substance.

1. Controlled oxidation (Fenton-like): organic matter is degraded and restructured at the molecular level.
2. Alkaline hydrolysis: biological macromolecules are transformed into more complex compounds. stable and bioavailable.
3. pH adjustment and final synthesis: new functional, hygienically safe, and odorless compounds are formed.

 

What's New

The result is a new, standalone substance, validated by ECHA and REACH registered, recognized with a unique EC number, which attests to its official recognition as a new, standalone substance. This substance status allows its use in new industrial contexts.

Among the various possible uses, recognition as a new, standalone substance opens the way to a concrete use: the material can It can be used as a Constituent Material Category (CMC) in CE fertilizers (EU Regulation 2019/1009).

An integrated, modular, and intelligent system

The systems are designed to be modular and can be integrated into the existing sludge line, without structural modifications.
An advanced automation and dedicated sensor system monitors chemical reactions and critical process parameters in real time.

The treated flow can be reintroduced into the existing dewatering cycle, ensuring operational continuity and adaptability to any plant layout.

Modularity and flexibility guarantee scalability of the system, adaptable to plants of any size.

Tangible benefits

• Circular solution: eliminates the volume of waste sludge to be disposed of.
• Agronomic valorization: generates organic matter useful for sustainable soil fertilization.
• Waste prevention: the process acts before classification as waste, anticipating European circular economy principles.
• European scalability: thanks to REACH registration, the technology is replicable throughout the Union.

 

This technology redefines the role of the purifier: no longer a treatment plant, but a strategic hub of the circular bioeconomy, capable of generating raw materials for valorization.
