The PONDUS thermochemical hydrolysis process from CNP - Technology Water and Biosolids Corp. optimizes the biosolids treatment process so a plant can move toward energy independence. It drastically minimizes the overall carbon footprint by decreasing the solids production, while enabling useful repurposing of biosolids as a fertilizer and carbon source and methane gas outputs as renewable energy. It reduces the viscosity of thickened waste-activated sludge up to 80 percent, reduces anaerobic digestion volume up to 50 percent, increases the dewatered dry cake solids up to 5 percent and increases biogas production up to 30 percent. 262/764-3651; www.cnp-tec.com; Booth 7711
