AquaGreen, founded in 2014, is a Danish engineering company that has developed an innovative technology for treating wet biomass, particularly sewage sludge. The company's patented HECLA technology integrates steam drying and pyrolysis to convert bio-waste into valuable resources. This process dries and pyrolyzes sewage sludge at 650¬∞C without the need for auxiliary fuel, using only the calories from the sludge itself. The technology significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 80% compared to conventional sewage sludge disposal methods.
AquaGreen's HECLA 1,000 plant can process 1,000 metric tons of dry matter annually, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 1,800 tons of CO2 equivalent, producing 2,000 MWh of sustainable energy, and storing 500 tons of carbon in biochar. The resulting biochar is odorless and contains 5-6% plant-accessible phosphorus, making it valuable for soil improvement and fertilization. The process also eliminates harmful pollutants such as microplastics, medical residues, PFAS, and PAH while preserving essential nutrients like phosphorus.
The company's technology offers a cost-effective and environmentally efficient solution for handling wet bio-waste, presenting a sustainable alternative to traditional sewage sludge management methods. AquaGreen's system is self-sufficient and circular, as the gases produced during pyrolysis fuel both the steam drying and pyrolysis processes. The excess steam, condensed into hot water, can be used for district heating grids and other applications.
