Yorkshire Water Embraces Sewage Sludge Market
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Business
Yorkshire Water has announced it is to embrace the sludge treatment market to drive efficiency, boost resilience and accelerate innovation within the water sector.
The water company currently spends around 10% of its annual operating costs treating sludge but now plans to offer more opportunities for third-party companies to improve how it transports, treats and recycles the material.

It will invite these firms to share expert information and increase collaboration to optimise the industry.
Around 150,000 tonnes of sewage sludge are treated each year by Yorkshire Water, with 69% converted into renewable energy via anaerobic digestion – the industry is estimated to be worth up to £1.6 billion in the UK.
Yorkshire Water expects continued investments and knowledge sharing to increase these numbers and deliver significantly lower operating costs by 2020.

I am pleased to see an organization moving towards natural waste processing that will eliminate all pathogens, toxins, save time, and will be potable at the end of the process. Current technology allows for the collection of electrons during the bioremediation process. Energy for use or sale. Best part is no more dumping into rivers and less water being pulled from underground sources. Same process eliminates garbage dumpsites. no expensive chlorine.
