Mayors visiting

This week, Testbed Ellinge has received two study visits, one from the Interreg project ISMA and one from the Ukrainian city of Khotyn and the municipality of Eslöv.

On Tuesday, the pilot plant at Ellinge was visited by the project group in the ISMA project (Innovative solutions for sewage sludge management in small WWTPs), which is financed by Interreg South Baltic Sea. VA SYD is participating in the project with Nitrogen removal for stricter requirements. Seventeen people from VA SYD, Rybno municipality (including the mayor of the municipality), University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry and Bornholms Energi & Forsyning participated in the study visit.

The municipality of Eslöv will possibly enter into a partnership with the city of Khotyn in Ukraine. A delegation of three people from Khotyn, including the mayor, came to Ellinge on Thursday to, among other things, look at the pilot plant together with another eight people from the municipality of Eslöv, including the chairman of the municipal board, and VA SYD.

The pilot was in full operation during both visits. The most popular thing to show off is probably, besides dried sludge and sludge biochar, the flame from the combustion of the pyrolysis gas.
