Description

How can advanced thermal conversion transform the future of biosolids?

At this year’s European Biosolids & Bioresources Conference, an exciting panel featuring Ofwat Innovation Fund projects will unite leading UK water-sector innovators to reveal their progress, tackle shared challenges and showcase breakthrough ideas.

Peter Winter will update delegates on Thames Water's Proving the Concept of Sewage Sludge Pyrolysis; David Inman will present Anglian Water's All-Streams HTO project and introduce the new Ofwat Innovation Missions ATC Cross-Evaluation; Peter Vale will share insights from Severn Trent's Valuing Biochar and PyroPlas projects; Alexander Smith will introduce United Utilities’ Supercritical Water Oxidation project; and Tom Taylor will present Yorkshire Water’s Sewage Sludge Gasification project.

Chaired by Sarah-Jane Westlake from AtkinsRéalis, the session will explore how pyrolysis, HTO, gasification, SCWO, and other emerging technologies could tackle contaminants, unlock valuable resources and accelerate a more resilient, low-carbon future for bioresources.
