Predictable solutions for sewage sludge treatment

Our plants offer a reliable solution for the thermal treatment of sewage sludge and the recovery of energy from the process. They also prepare operators for the phosphorus recovery requirements taking effect from 2029. Modular plant concepts provide the flexibility and planning certainty needed for the long term.

Hands-on expertise,
international strength

The requirements of every sewage sludge project are unique, from plant design and site conditions to operational needs. That is why we support municipalities and operators as a trusted partner throughout the process, from planning to implementation. As part of the JFE Group, we bring together hands-on expertise, technological capabilities, financial strength and a global perspective.

Self-sustaining combustion

Fluidised bed technology enables self-sustaining combustion without auxiliary fuel. Uniform fuel distribution, a long residence time and reliable burnout support a stable combustion process.

Proven fluidised bed technology

The lateral fuel feeding system ensures uniform fuel distribution within the fluidised bed furnace. Adaptive furnace head temperature control supports the reduction of pollutant loads. The robust, low-wear design is suitable for thermal inputs ranging from 5 to 40 MWth.

“We develop sewage sludge treatment plants that ensure long-term disposal, reliably meet legal requirements, and give municipalities reliable planning security.”

Tailor-made technology

Our modular sewage sludge plants are configured to meet each project’s specific capacity, site conditions and objectives. Proven, low-maintenance components designed for durability support reliable operation and long-term cost-effectiveness.

Combustion technology

Fluidized bed combustion

Boiler technology

Horizontal or vertical, with modules for cleaning and boiler protection

Flue gas treatment

Sewage sludge treatment is changing: 
new requirements, new perspectives

Climate targets, phosphorus recovery requirements and changing regulatory conditions present municipalities and operators with challenges. We highlight what matters now and the opportunities offered by modern plant technology.

Nitrous oxide as a climate driver

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a powerful greenhouse gas that is produced when sewage sludge is incinerated improperly. Modern combustion systems minimize these emissions and thus make a direct contribution to climate protection.

Phosphorus recovery obligation from 2029

This legal obligation is fundamentally changing the residue disposal sector. Our plants provide the necessary technical basis and ensure long-term, compliant recycling – even with transitional solutions.

Investment security despite regulation

Political uncertainties make investment difficult. Our experience with complex approvals and regulatory requirements offers operators security and an economically viable perspective.

Are you planning a sewage sludge mono-incineration plant?
We support you from the initial idea to an approvable solution – technically sound, regulatory compliant, and with a view to long-term disposal security.
