Release of the R-Rhenania short film

Another project film has been completed, providing insights into the work and goals of the R-Rhenania joint project. You can watch it at the following link: https://youtu.be/RjLbXDCQUO4

In the R-Rhenania project, two variations of the thermochemical process with the addition of (earth) alkalis are being investigated. Sewage sludge ashes are thermochemically treated in a downstream rotary kiln. This process is known under the proper name AshDec®. In the second phase of the project, this process is being trialled for various scenarios. In the other variant, this thermochemical process takes place directly in the incineration of sewage sludge and is being implemented as a demonstration plant at the Altenstadt site. The Emter company is converting its existing grate firing mono-incineration system so that the thermochemical process can be integrated in order to produce an effective and low-pollutant phosphate fertiliser. The project partner, fertiliser manufacturer sePura, plans to use all of the fertiliser produced regionally in Bavaria.

The short films are planned, produced and edited in close cooperation with the joint projects. They are intended to provide a lively insight into the pilot plants and the work of the joint projects and will be published gradually over the coming weeks on the RePhoR homepage and the YouTube channel.
