Background
Sewage sludge disposal is causing serious worldwide environmental problems. Expensive landfill and ocean dumping are contaminating underground water reservoirs and irrevocably harming the sea world. Turning sludge into compost causes the pathogens and heavy metals in the sludge to pollute the very land it is fertilizing. Incineration emits hazardous gases.
Stricter global legislation for municipal wastewater treatment plants (WTP) on sludge disposal has created the urgent need for more sophisticated, environmentally-friendly treatment systems.
Solution
BioPetrol Ltd.’s technology is a breakthrough process for producing usable synthetic crude oil from sewage sludge.
The company is developing a catalyst that synthesizes two different systems, resulting in a production of fuel oil. The end result is the on-site reduction of dry sludge volume from 100% to 5%. BioPetrol Ltd. will give WTP’s for the first time, an environmentally sound and cost-effective sludge conversion system.
Advantages·
- Cost effective way of eliminating sludge disposal.
- Solves worldwide environmental problems connected to sludge disposal.
- Converts sludge into usable fuel.· Produces oil which is easily stored and transferred.
- Offsets wastewater treatment costs with revenue from the oil.
- Ingredients in the biopetrol can be used in the production of petrochemicals.
Market
Wastewater treatment plants throughout the world will benefit from BioPetrol’s system. The market of wastewater treatment technologies is a $billions market and is in constant growth.
