The "Sewage Sludge Treatment" conference provides you with an overview of the currently customary methods as well as future strategies and markets. Learn about innovative methods of sewage sludge treatment as well as the recovery of phosphorus. The conference also addresses the controversial topic of sewage sludge treatment in the cement industry.

Sewage sludge - recycling instead of expensive disposal

In light of increasing disposal and transport costs as well as the demand for resource preservation, the treatment of sewage sludge is becoming increasingly important. Next to thermal and agricultural sewage sludge treatment, the utilisation of sewage sludge in the cement production as well as innovative methods for the recovery of phosphorus is becoming a major topic. This is driven by political developments. These include a foreseeable prohibition of sewage sludge application on EU fields and the classification of phosphorus as limited raw material by the European Commission.

The international "Sewage Sludge Treatment" conference therefore focuses on the following topics:

Thermal treatment of sewage sludge
Phosphorus recovery with sewage sludge treatment
Political developments and the current EU legislation
Methods for the (energetic) recovery of sewage sludge
developments of the international markets

Who should participate?

The event addresses:

International experts
Research analysts
Business development managers
Plant engineers and operators in the sewage sludge sector
