Conversion of wet slam to dry bio coal

C-green has developed a method for eliminating the GHG emissions related to current treatment methods for slam, where the treatment process results in a product can be used as biofuel. The process also has an effective dewatering process (70-90% to 30% in biomass) that does not require external heat to function. Any organic toxins present in the products will be burned in the combustion process and heavy metals or other uncombustiable components can be separated Furthermore, over 50% of the nitrogen in the slam can be extracted as ammonia to be used as fertilizer.
