catchments, covering a range of agronomic and environmental conditions. Once tested over hot-spots and hot-moments of nutrient delivery, the method could offer an alternative and/or complementary monitoring approach to the existing methodologies of low-frequency and fixed-location nutrient sampling. The tool will improve targeting nutrient sources and mitigation measures to the locations in which they will bring the largest economical, societal and environmental benefits and in turn will help to achieve the aims of the EU Water Framework Directive. Innovative The LIFE iCirBus-4Industries project will demonstrate the 16-7-2015 LIFE+ Manuel Circular use of fly ash from forest biomass power plants as an Martín Businesses adsorbent agent for heavy metals and other organic Castizo and on Energy, materials in sewage sludge. This will make the sludge Manuel Water, suitable for the production of low-impact fertiliser. In a Ortega fertiliser & second the project will also demonstrate the Molina viability of a further use in recyclable construction Industries materials of the used biomass that contains heavy metals towards a and organic pollutants from sewage sludge. The project Greener will first characterise the sewage sludge and the forest Regional biomass fly ash. Then, the two-phase sludge treatment to Economy reduce the presence of heavy metals and other contaminants will be validated at laboratory scale. The project will then scale up the process in a prototype sewage treatment plant with a capacity of 100 kg/hour of clean sludge. In-BRIEF Integrated The LIFE In-BRIEF project aims to develop and implement 1-9-2015 31-3-2018 LIFE+ Manuel business a new business model for the resource-efficient Sanchez model for management of certain biodegradable waste, increasing turning its use for bioenergy and in bioproducts. This will be done and through an integrated management model for processing sewage different biowaste generated by agri-food enterprises, sludge into and sewage sludge from urban waste water treatment, renewable transforming it into renewable energy and high quality energy and fertilisers.
