Values and pain-reliefs for our customers
• Reduced sludge handling costs
• Reduced sludge volumes, less handling & transportation
• Significant reduction of CO2-footprint
• Less disturbances from odour and transports related to sludge handling
• HTC-product can be used as a biofuel
• HTC-product is free from biological and pharmaceutical activity
