EnCORE
In 2019, a successful pilot was performed in Almere using the small mobile pilot installation. The concept of the continuous reactor patent was proven. Over 1,000 hours were run with sludge from WWTP Land van Cuijk, plus multiple 200-hour runs with various municipal and industrial sludge types. This was the final stage before commercial-scale demonstration and laid the foundation for the Sludge2ValueLife project. Concluded 31 December 2025. A public report will be made available by STOWA.
