During the project, Loritus will build a full-scale HTC installation to demonstrate its economic and technological as an performance across a range of commonly occurring waste streams sharing characteristics that make them costly to treat with established technologies. The and demonstration will target at least three market applications (sewage sludge, food waste and animal organic and spent mushroom compost) on a waste commercial scale (10.000 tonnes/year). Loritus will then processing operate the full-scale HTC system on a specific organic technology waste stream, spent mushroom compost, at a mushroom farm in Ireland to finalise the business case for HTC in a real life, industrial scale application. Such a success will induce a multiplication effect across the associated farming cooperative, and provide evidence that clients in other market segments can gain the same HTC cost and environmental advantages. Loritus will prioritise and pursue these segments aggressively. 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 on Energy, materials in sewage sludge.
