Veolia Water's 350 researchers work on developing new solutions for every stage in water cycle management, including biosolids recycling.
Biosolids recycling
Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies has developed Saphyr™ which is a chemical stabilization technique that treats the thickened sludge with nitrites under acidic conditions (pH <3). Once the sludge has been stabilized using this process, it can then be stored either in a liquid or dewatered state for several months before its reuse or incineration in line with current legislation.
The key research area fall into six spheres of excellence
- management of water resources
- drinking water
- wastewater
- biosolids
- water supply systems
- analysis
Treating and eliminating sludge safely
Our Group provides a range of complete and complementary solutions from treatment to recovery and reuse that can be adapted to the needs of all types of municipal authorities
