SUEZ NWS and SE Environment1 signed a shareholder agreement in order to establish the joint venture SE SUEZ Environmental Technology2, which will be in charge of managing the Shangyang Project for the treatment and recovery of sludge in the city of Shenzhen for a contract duration of 30 years.
The Shangyang Project is the largest sludge recovery and treatment center in the city of Shenzhen. With a capacity of up to 800 tons of sludge per day, it will optimise the treatment of sludge from more than 10 municipal wastewater treatment plants in the Longgang district and the downtown of Shenzhen, and will thus contribute to the protection of the city’s environment.
Constructed by SUEZ NWS, the Shenzhen Shangyang sludge treatment plant is the first sludge-to-energy recovery center in Shenzhen and will use the ThermylisTM technology for the first time in China. Successfully deployed in more than 40 plants built by SUEZ in Europe and North America, ThermylisTM significantly reduces energy consumption in order to minimise sludge volumes in an efficient, economical and environmentally-friendly manner.
