KICK-OFF MEETING NUTREC

Ms. Pilar Zapata Aranda attended the Kick-off Meeting of NUTREC project (“green nutrients recovery systems”) that was held last December 4th– 5th, 2013 in Hobro, Denmark. It was hosted by the project coordinator, OHT group.

NUTREC project focuses in the recovery of ammonia and phosphorus from wastewater, in particular rejected water from biogas production (rich in these nutrients) and leachates (rich in nitrogen) from landfills. It is intended to improve and optimise a recently developed, innovative technological process for recovering ammonia, as well as extending such process for the recovery o phosphorus from diverse wastewater, and transforming the nutrient-rich by-streams into useful fertilisers.

During this meeting, the general structure of the project was presented, together with the consortium members and they specific role in NUTREC. In addition, the technology was shown to the partners.
