Scaleup Hamburg /AI-assisted

Sustainable utilization of pit sludges from Hamburg's dredged material landfills

Innovative solutions are sought for the further processing and recycling of pit sludges that arise in Hamburg's dredged material landfills during the environmentally sound disposal of harbor silt. The goal is to identify sustainable utilization pathways for these residual materials and to enable their material reuse.

Challenge Description

Describe the approaches taken so far.

In the operation of mono-landfills, harbor silt arising from dredging work is deposited in an environmentally sound and harmless manner. This creates pit sludges for which suitable concepts for further processing or recycling are being sought. The focus is on new approaches for sustainable management of these materials.

What must a suitable solution achieve? What technical requirements are already known?

Customer-defined requirements: • Material utilization of pit sludges as secondary raw material • Processing and separation technologies • Recovery of mineral or other valuable components • Production of building materials or construction products • Processes for reducing disposal and landfill volume • relieve landfill capacities, • close material cycles, • reduce resource consumption, • reduce disposal costs in the long term
