Approval procedure sewage sludge drying
The market for sewage sludge disposal is still undergoing legal changes. Possible disposal routes are becoming shorter, and rising acceptance prices provide the economic basis for alternative concepts. The idea of a sewage sludge recycling system that will be more environmentally friendly in the future was taken by the client as an opportunity to further develop initial project approaches on the site of a former porcelain factory into a rounded concept. In addition to the development of the concept, such plants also require the implementation of an immission control approval procedure.
