Veolia has invested over £14 million on thermal hydrolysis technology at its Seafield Waste Water Treatment facility in Edinburgh.
The process will help produce over 100 tonnes per day of thermal hydrolysis cake, a new product to add key nutrients back into farming land.
The new cake is a balanced fertiliser that helps enrich the soil with key levels of nitrogen, phosphate and sulphur, a rich source of organic matter and a useful soil conditioner.
Bruce Moffat, Veolia's Organics General Manager said:
"We're delighted to launch this new product to the farming community. It will help save farmers' fertiliser costs with the added benefit that it's much less odorous than other bio-solids. Due to the way the cake is treated it can be used on a greater variety of crops including grassland."
Alongside the product, Veolia will also provide customers with:
- Spreading to achieve consistency across the land
- All necessary soil sampling in accordance with sludge use in agricultural regulations
- Exemption registration with SEPA and other liaisons required
- Record keeping and field notifications to help manage information and cross compliance
