Introduction

• Growing interest in utilising Pyrolysis and Gasification as sludge thermal treatment technologies. Key drivers for interest are below:

• Sludge volume minimisation in light of restrictions on reuse • Heat generation for drying process

• Resource recovery opportunity (P and Carbon)

• Carbon sequestration credits from Biochar

• Production of a reusable product (Biochar)

• Destruction of emerging contaminants

• Significant numbers of suppliers emerging in the market with differing designs. Some suppliers supply modularised package units, and some construct bespoke large-scale units.
