EU Project FlashPhos Completes FEED Study for Sustainable Phosphorus Recovery
The EU project FlashPhos has completed its Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study, advancing towards the industrial implementation of sustainable phosphorus recovery. The study outlines a thermochemical process for producing 5,000 tonnes of white phosphorus annually, integrating with existing cement facilities. The project highlights synergies with cement production, offering pathways for decarbonization and circular economy objectives.

The FlashPhos project, involving 17 European partners, has completed its Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study, a crucial step for implementing sustainable phosphorus recovery. The study details a process to produce 5,000 tonnes of white phosphorus (P₄) annually from sewage sludge, integrated into a cement facility.
Led by A TEC Production and Services GmbH, the study confirms that syngas from phosphorus recovery can substitute conventional fuels, and byproducts can serve as CO2-neutral cement substitutes. The project prepares for detailed engineering and initial commercial installations, aiming to enhance sustainability in phosphorus production and cement industry decarbonization.
