Transcription

1 PHARIO A stepping stone to a value chain demonstration for PHA from RIOolwater (sewage) Etteke Wypkema Waterboard Brabantse Delta

2 Content PHA and sewage treatment Phario-project Project results The profitable valuechain Investors for scale up waterboards will coinvest

3 What is PHA Bioplastic produced by living organisms PHA is completely degradable by ambient temperatures Production not from fossil oil Copolymer of PHB and PBV : Pure PHB looks like PP

4 PHA Currently produced from first generation feedstocks High cost and properties slow down market penetration The perspective for plastic free oceans

5 Bacterial accumulation PHA (Poly Hydroxy Alkanoaat) Bacteria + fatty acid PHA

6 Bacteria available in activated sludge of sewage treatment Fatty acids - from industrial process waters - by fermentation

7 Why Activatd Sludge? Classic Raw material (fatty acids) PHARIO Waste (fatty acids) Primary Sludge Biomass Secondary Sludge PHA in biomass PHA in biomass

9 The Project Future Public Private cooperation (WP5) Business case full scale (WP3) PHA production on pilot scale (WP1) Potential other wwtp s (WP2) Design & cost DEMO (WP4) PHA- Biomass Bath Extraction Lund Market value PHA

10 PHARIO: a stepping stone 2021 and beyond Demonstration 100 ton/jaar 1 st commercial plant ton/jaar Further growth PHARIO 2 kg/week Earlier projects: BioTrip, pilot Leeuwarden, pilot Brussel, onderzoek Fontys/WBD

11 Results Key messages: Bath biomass behaves in a robust predictable way. Polymers are of good quality, comparable to commercial PHA. A range of products can be made depending on the VFA composition Control of the VFA composition requires attention to raw material management and bioprocess Bath is not a black swan

13 Evaluation properties

14 Substainability LCA: 40% better than current market PHA 500% better than making biogas out of wastestreams Use degradable additives and coloring Recyclable over 5 times Degradation in nature is insurance policy

15 Business case A B C D VFA production PHA accumulation PHA extraction 5000 ton PHA/y First full scale: 10 years return of investment at market price 60% of current price DEMO investment: 15 Meuro, ton PHA/a, incl. 3 years operation: 50 euro per kg A profitable value chain

16 Looking for co-investors Waterboards part of the chain and will take a part of investment Main profit for health, nature and ocean: How to involve marketing and public in development?
