Safe sewage sludge treatment in Flanders, Belgium Doosan Lentjes has been contracted to supply the new sewage sludge treatment plant in the Flanders region of Belgium. The end customer and project developer is the company Aquafin, which is responsible for the collection and treatment of the municipal wastewater in the Flemish region. Aquafin awarded the DBFMO contract for the new plant to FOSTER, a consortium of BESIX Group and Indaver NV.

As part of the turnkey project, Doosan Lentjes will be responsible for the design, supply, installation and commissioning of all process, mechanical and electrical equipment. One process line consisting of a bubbling fluidised bed furnace, a steam generator, a multi-stage flue gas cleaning system and a water-steam cycle will be supplied.

Mono-combustion will make it possible to extract valuable phosphorus from the separated ash in a further process step.

With the help of our technology, the customer will be able to realise a reliable and future-proof disposal of municipal sewage sludge in the Ghent region. All emission requirements according to the European BREF (Best Available Techniques Reference) directives will be met.

Belfast, Northern Ireland

 

Doosan Lentjes designed and built the municipal sewage sludge mono-incineration plant located in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Today, Northern Ireland Water is the owner of the facility while the same is being operated by Veolia Water.

Developed in accordance with all applicable regulations, the plant design features a bubbling bed incinerator and a multi-stage flue gas cleaning solution. What’s more, an efficient waste heat recovery concept allows an auto-thermal operation of the entire plant.

Designed on the mono-incineration principle, the facility is ready to meet the requirements of latest regulations on sewage sludge treatment: to implement its required recycling, phosphorus can be recovered in a further process step from the ash which is separated in an integrated electrostatic precipitator (ESP).

Working with Doosan Lentjes has allowed the customer to benefit from a future-oriented sewage sludge solution that was executed in a very short building phase.
