Wastewater Treatment Plants

The future of wastewater treatment will be shaped by stricter environmental protection and sustainability regulations. Treatment plants will need to explore ways to recover resources like nutrients and valuable materials to align with a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach, rather than simply treating waste as something to discard.

We give treatment plants a broader mission - recycling and wastewater purification

Today, treatment plants recycle water, one of the resources that come in through incoming flows. However, there is a need to recycle much more. We have a source of both carbon, phosphorus, and nitrogen that is needed on our fields.

Challenges

In the new sludge investigation, requirements are proposed both for sludge quality and management, as well as phosphorus recovery. Sludge contains important nutrients that are better suited for farmland than noise barriers and landfills, making it a good idea to refine your sludge into a sustainable product for nutrient supply to agricultural land or other cultivation. The treatment plants of the future will have a broader mission: both wastewater treatment and recycling.

Our solution

EkoBalans recycling plants represent the future of wastewater management. With our technologies eco:P and eco:N, we can recover almost all phosphorus and more than 75% of the nitrogen from wastewater. With EkoBalans pyrolysis solutions, we can separate 90% of the cadmium content from sludge and produce phosphorus-rich sludge biochar.

The result

With EkoBalans technologies, we achieve sustainable sludge management, where it is possible to recycle large amounts of plant nutrients, which we then refine into attractive fertilizers and soil improvement products.
