Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the effect of the extracting acid on the organic matter?

Some of the very soluble fraction of the organic phase leaches during the process but this fraction is very small. The organic material is less soluble at very low pH. Some organic functional groups will be hydrolysed during the acid leaching, but this does not affect the nutrient value of the biosolids.

Q. Is your process also suitable for other waste streams?

The process can handle most sludge waste streams and soils

Q. Is the process environmentally friendly?

Yes.
