Safe to dispose of and nearbyDisposal of sewage and industrial sludge

As a service provider for the municipal waste management industry, we are happy to take on the disposal of your sewage and industrial sludge.

Sewage sludge generally refers to digested or otherwise stabilized sludge from wastewater treatment plants. It can occur as unpressed or pressed fresh or digested sludge as well as in dried form as sewage sludge granulate. Terra Nova GmbH is able to utilize all forms of sewage sludge. In dried form, it is used by our partners as an energy source in cement production, while we supply pressed sewage sludge to suitable incineration plants.

Sewage sludge: LVA code 19 08 05 – Sludge from the treatment of municipal waste water

Industrial sludge: LVA code 19 08 11 (S) – Sludge from biological treatment of industrial waste water

In the past, sewage sludge was often used as a fertilizer in agriculture. However, this practice was banned in Switzerland in 2006. In order to recycle sewage sludge without pollutants, it is now incinerated in approved plants. It is also possible to dry sewage sludge and use it as granulate in cement plants to generate energy.
