Plasma deodorization of sewage sludge – a project of the West Pomeranian University of Szczecin
The Electrical Department of the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin became the leader of the “STEP – sludge technological, ecological progress” project. The project received EU funding from the Interreg South Baltic Program. The value of the three-year project is about € 1.1 million.
The partners of the consortium are Bornholms Energy & Supply from Dani, Klaipeda University from Lithuania, The municipality of Höör / Mittskåne Water (Sweden) and Goleniów Wodociągi i Kanalizacja.
In the project whose head is dr hab. Eng. Marcin Hołub, the technological possibilities and solutions for initial sludge purification, energy efficiency of the process, plasma deodorization of gases and re-use of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus) will be analyzed. As part of the project, two pilot projects will be carried out:
- Goleniów – composting without odors using plasma deodorization technology
- Hoor – installation for the management (fermentation) of sludge from external suppliers (households having their own sewage treatment plant).
