LUND, Sweden, May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/
Alfa Laval - a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling - has signed a partner agreement with EasyMining, an innovation company in the Swedish Ragn-Sells Group, to develop new processes and technologies to extract commercially valuable products from waste materials and enable circular solutions.
Alfa Laval s expertise in mechanical and thermal separation will ensure waste minimization, zero liquid discharge and chemical reuse within EasyMining s processes. These include extracting phosphorus and other resources from incinerated sewage sludge and producing clean road salt and fertilizers from hazardous ash. The aim of the partnership is to continue to develop new and more efficient treatments for different waste streams.
In April Ragn-Sells Estonia sent 4 tonnes of oil shale ash to a Finnish laboratory, where industrial tests of calcium carbonate production technology now will start. This is the last pre-phase of the scientific research before the design of the plant and the start of the production scheduled for 2025 according to the current timetable.
The cooperation with Tallinn Technical University and the University of Tartu enables the project to now begin working on the important industrial tests, where the details of calcium carbonate production in large volumes, up to 1 million tonnes, are determined.
- If until today we have improved the technology and thereby produced a few kilos of calcium carbonate from the ashes, now we aim to increase these quantities to hundreds of kilos. It gives us an idea of the specifics of industrial production and prepares us for the final design of the plant. We are very grateful to our partners from the Estonian universities and we look forward to continuing

LONDON, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Fairfield Market Research s latest report studies the global tyre-derived fuel market as the world looks at turning waste to energy. The report estimates that one billion scrap tyres are generated and another four billion are added to the stockpile each year. According to the report, the
global tyre-derived fuel (TDF) market was worth US$365.1 Mn in 2019 and is expected to reach US$430.3 Mn by 2025. The growing sentiment towards utilizing greener energies is creating the demand for tyre-derived fuel, predict analysts.
Economical and Affordable Characteristics to Fuel Market Growth
Tyre-derived fuel is less expensive than conventional fuel. The sheer size of the tyre waste generated on a daily basis is incentive enough for major players in this market not only to invest in the scalability but also to satiate the increasing usage in the coming years. No prerequisite of exploration makes tyre-derived fuel fa
