Sewage Sludge Melting and Reduction Experiments
The sewage sludge melting and reduction experiments aim to understand how sewage sludge behaves under the same conditions as in the FlashPhos process. Crucial parameters like operating temperatures, expected yield, and reaction times were derived from the...
Flash Reactor and Refiner Simulation
Based on the multiphase flow model presented in a previous post, the main research topic for TU Graz is to develop a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model that can accurately describe the combustion of sewage sludge powder in the Flash Reactor. The model...
FlashPhos awarded Global Slag Innovator of the Year
We are excited to announce that FlashPhos has been presented with the award for "Global Slag Technical Innovation" at the 15th Global Slag Conference in Düsseldorf, Germany.What is the Global Slag Award? The Global Slag Award is an annual prize presented to...
FlashPhos General Assembly Meeting in Spoleto
From May 10-11, 2023, the FlashPhos General Assembly Meeting took place, gathering all project partners in Spoleto, Italy. The host of the meeting was project partner Italmatch Chemicals, one of the most experienced companies worldwide in P4 handling and...
Multiphase Flow Model
Drying the sewage sludge and reducing its size into small particles is the first step in the FlashPhos process. For the optimal operation of the pilot plant Flash Reactor, the basicity of the particulate fuel will be adjusted beforehand. During the experiments at...
Virtual FlashPhos Plant
What is a virtual plant? A virtual plant or digital twin is a fully functional digital clone of a real-world process. For the FlashPhos process, a model was built based on the mass and energy balance supplemented with thermodynamic data which can predict how the...
Conceptual Engineering of the FlashPhos Process
In plant engineering, Conceptual Engineering is the first of three stages, in which the basic components, mass, and energy flows necessary to make a process run are determined. In this blog, we want to give you an overview of our conceptual engineering activities,...
Women in Science – Meet Ayumi Schober
To promote the full and equal access and participation of females in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), the International Day of Women and Girls in Science takes place on 11 February every year. Within FlashPhos are many inspiring women who...
Women in Science – Meet Bianka Leidold
Women in Science: On 11 February every year, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science is celebrated to promote the full and equal access and participation of females in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). In FlashPhos, many women...
General Assembly Meeting
On January 17, 2023, FlashPhos partners jointly kicked off the new year in an online General Assembly Meeting. The meeting was the first consortium meeting gathering all project partners after last year’s successful Review Meeting and the General Assembly Meeting...
