| Title | Sludge reduction to energy recovery from waste: case study of a breakthrough sludge treatment technology able to achieve reliable performances in a concrete way |
| Abstract | The problem of sludge disposal affects all the countries worldwide with a priority level that changes
according to the level of attention required by the regulations, from critical need to emergency.
A concrete, easy, reliable and cost-effective solution today is provided by Newlisi S.p.A., an Italian
company that has developed, patented and successfully commercialized for six years an innovative
technology that reduces sludge volumes by over 70% and improves waste-to-value by increasing
biogas production up to +40%. Newlisi is an all-Italian company, with a unique know-how and
solution covered by a patent registered in 39 countries worldwide.
Such innovative technology is a thermo-chemical hydrolysis process, working at low pressure and
temperature (up to 100 °C).
Technically, Newlisi's solution breaks down the compounds sludge as well as the polymers present. As
a result, the solubilized sludge becomes an excellent substrate for both the biomass of the oxidation
tank and for an eventual anaerobic digester, increasing the biogas production. As a result, a very high
sludge volume reduction (by over 70%) is achieved, significantly reducing disposal costs.
The chemicals used are of common use, no civil works or special authorisations by Local Authorities
are required and the payback of the investment for customer from operating cost savings is very
short (3 to 5 years).
IRSA-CNR (the Water Research Institute of the Italian National Research Council) has been the
company's strategic R&D partner since 2014. IRSA-CNR provides laboratory tests and modelling
in order to simulate and optimize the process. Newlisi's R&D employees work in strong cooperation
with IRSA-CNR. |
