Somos FCC N27

This is an innovation project aimed at recovering energy and manufacturing high ad- ded-value products from organic waste and urban wastewater using the technology of thermal hydrolysis of biowaste to obtain a hydrolysate rich in nutrients that serve as food for the purple phototrophic bacteria that give the project its name. These bacteria are responsible for the synthesis of PHA for the manufacture of bioplastics. The SCALIBUR project aims to develop innovative solutions to help cities increase their recycling rate and create new business opportunities in the circular economy. FCCEnvironment has worked on the development of a continuousmonitoring system that makes it possible to determine in real time the quality of the biowaste entering the plant. In addition, in collaboration with Aqualia, it has implemented a bioelectroche- mical treatment (BES) prototype that allows the CO2 from the biogas to be converted into high value-added organic products such as acetic acid. INSECTUM is a project that aims to valorise organic waste through bioconversion with insects to produce bioproducts such as chitin or protein-rich flours for use in animal feed.
