Result description
Recovered ammonium sulphate (a nitrogen rich fertilizer raw material) from domestic wastewater. The ammonium sulphate is mixed with recovered struvite to create a tailor made fertilizer pellet with adjustable NPK ratio. The pellet has been used in field trials with equivalent results as fossil mineral fertilizer and will be commercialized in Sweden in 2022.
The NPK fertilizer pellet is a 100% recycled product which can be handled by existing fertilizer spreading equipment and yields the same results as conventional fossil mineral fertilizer.
