CAP Group and A2A - Experimental bioreactor for the growth of fungal strains

CAP Group
A2A

Sludge treatment

Purpose of the project

The experimental bioreactor for fungal strain growth is a pilot plant designed and built in order to further research related to alternative processes for the degradation of recalcitrant substances in sewage sludge.

The objective of the experimentation is to achieve, through the use of innovative technologies, the conversion of a waste, produced by wastewater treatment, into a resource that can be used in other sectors.
