P.S. I keep going back to the thought that there is some connection between what is happening with the JCL Engineering wastewater treatment plant in China, and the SCA/CTI/Lakson work in Drummondville, Quebec and Albany, New York.
Lakson was involved, together with its associates, in the development of a sludge conditioning system in Albany, New York. Our system is used to treat a combination of pulp & paper sludge and wastewater-derived sludge; as such, this sludge management solution does not rely on expensive and unsustainable land-filling.
After undergoing a preliminary treatment in belt compressors, the sludge is sent to our conditioning unit, where it is grinded and dewatered into a pathogen-free powder. Our drying approach is energy efficient, consumming close to a third of the energy used by conventional dryers.
Our process is electrically driven and does not rely on any external heat source; as a consequence, our solution does not emit any GHG.
