Background

Recovery and recycling of nutrients such as phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium from society back to the agriculture is important for sustainability. Phosphorus and potassium are scarce resources in which EU is heavily dependent on virgin import while the manufacturing of mineral nitrogen fertilizers especially has a big negative climate impact. Today, biological methods are almost solely used for treating nitrogen containing wastewaters. These processes consume large amounts of energy due to aerification and use of fossil raw materials. In addition, the established processes to produce nitrogen fertilizers (from natural gas) leads to further emissions of greenhouse gases.

EasyMining has several patented processes that enables recovery of clean commercial products by using wastes as raw materials. Examples of our processes are phosphorus recovery from incinerated sewage sludge ashes (Ash2Phos) and nitrogen recovery (Aqua2N) from nitrogen containing wastewater. The Aqua2N technology enables to chemically both extract the nitrogen from sewage wastewater but also convert the extracted nitrogen to a commercial nitrogen fertilizer and thereby reduce carbon emissions.
