INCOVER is holding its very 1st Stakeholder Dialogue Workshop on the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research’s (UFZ) Case Study “Turning Wastewater into the added-value Products Citric Acid and Carbon Black, and into Energy” in Leipzig on 29th June 2017. The workshop will take place from 9:00-14:00 at the UFZ premises.
To sign up, please send an email to: water@iclei.org.
Participating in this dialogue workshop will give you the opportunity to get up to speed with latest wastewater treatment technologies with which you can :
1. Produce citric acid via a yeast-based biotechnological process.
2. Biogas via co-digestion with industrial C-rich substrates.
3. Ready-to-use soil fertilizers via a hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) process transforming waste biomass.
For more information on case study 3 see: http://incover-project.eu/case-study/case-study-3
The combination of these process will enable a material and energetic re-cyclization of wastes, thereby contributing to closing life cycles in the bio-economy. Preliminary results are very promising and indicate that the INCOVER yeast-based process is a very suitable option for organic acid and biogas production.
