Process Flow TerraNova@ UItra with integral Phosphorous-Recovery The process flow diagram shows the TerraNova® Ultra process with integral Phosphorous recovery steps. The dotted parts (bottom left and right) are being added to the standard process in case Phosphorous recovery is desired. These are: - An acidification step, that decreases the pH level of the HTC slurry below pH2 by means of Sulfuric Acid. This causes a leaching of the Phosphorous from the Fe- or Al components, generated in the upstream waste water treatment process, into the liquid phase. More than 80% of the sewage sludge Phosphorous is being transferred. - A solid dosing step that adds Calcium-Silicate-Hydrate granulates (CSH) to the filtrate that is generated during the slurry dewatering step in the chamber filter press. The dissolved Phosphorous adsorbs at the CSH granulates.
