Advantages of the EuPhoRe®-process
Product technical advantages
- > 95 % phosphate recovery
- Good bioavailability of the phosphates
- Maximum P concentration in the ash
- Reduction of all relevant pollutants
- High energy efficiency
- Almost no waste One-time treatment of the sewage sludge without additional chemical or thermal decomposition of the ash
- No ash deposition but direct use and fertilizer production
Economical advantages
- Large-scale facilities
- 2 plants in use (from 15,000 to 30,000 t / a)
- 6 plants in planning (30,000 to 135,000 t / a)
- Low investment costs (-50% compared to mono-fluidized bed incinerators without phosphorus recycling)
- Low running costs
- Repair unattainable and durable hardware
- No further investment (eg infrastructure, flue gas system)
through integration into the existing power station as an upstream substation
- Generation of CO2 neutral energy
- Elimination of drying costs
- planning security
