On April 16th, 17th and 18th, BIORURAL project is organising online workshops related to European Rural Bioeconomy. Virginia Pérez, coordinator of the LIFE-DRY4GAS project and member of the Thermal Conversion Processes Unit of CEDER-CIEMAT, will give an oral presentation the 18th April to show the LIFE-DRY4GAS project and the environmental and sustainable solution that proposes to treat any sludge from Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP). The project is based on the drying of the sludge in a solar dryer that uses the residual heat of the process, gasifying the dry product and recovering its energy to produce heat and electricity. Its participation is entitled “Solar drying and gasification of Sewage Sludge to obtain bioenergy”. ]]>

The 88th Technical Meeting of the Fluidized Bed Conversion group of the International Energy Agency (IEA-FBC) will be hold in Madrid on 23rd April, focused on sustainable and low carbon fluidized bed technology. Virginia Pérez, coordinator of the project and member of the Thermal Conversion Processes Unit of CEDER-CIEMAT will take part in this meeting to show the LIFE-DRY4GAS project and the environmental and sustainable solution that proposes to treat any sludge from Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP). The project is based on the drying of the sludge in a solar dryer that uses the residual heat of the process, gasifying the dry product and recovering its energy to produce heat and electricity. It will be focused on the bubbling fluidized bed gasification as the main technology of the prototype, due to its importance in this technical meeting.  ]]>

The Spanish Water Supply and Sanitation Association (AEAS) will hold the 37th edition of its Congress, on 5th, 6th and 7th June, in Castellón, to discuss and contribute the knowledge of the aspects that cause more interest related to the integral urban water cycle. The water cycle includes the sludge obtained from Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP). Virginia Pérez, coordinator of the LIFE-DRY4GAS project and member of the Thermal Conversion Processes Unit of CEDER-CIEMAT will participate in this Congress to show the LIFE-DRY4GAS project and the environmental and sustainable solution that proposes to treat any sewage sludge from WWTP. The project is based on the drying of the sludge in a solar dryer that uses the residual heat of the process, gasifying the dry product and recovering its energy to produce heat and electricity.  ]]>
