Turning sewage sludge into energy
We’re proud to be selected for the design, fabrication and on-site delivery of a Fluidized Bed Combustor (FBC) for a new sewage sludge-to-energy facility in Gent. Commissioned by Aquafin and developed by the BESIX-Indaver consortium FOSTER, the project will recover energy from the sewage sludge of around 4 million residents.
Designed and built by Geldof, the FBC is a critical component of the broader thermal process scope developed by Doosan Lentjes:
- Length: 23.063 mm
- Inner diameters: 6.788 / 6.278 mm
- Wall thicknesses: 12 / 15 mm
- Weight: ~65 tonnes
- Materials: P265GH + internal parts in 1.4828
- Delivery: October 2025
Proud to bring our expertise to a technically demanding and sustainability-driven project at the heart of Flanders’ circular economy.
