In the spotlight: Discover SNB's sustainable sludge processing

At NXT Moerdijk we focus on sustainable growth, and one of our valued partners who has joined this initiative is N.V. Slibverwerking Noord-Brabant (SNB). In this article we want to delve deeper into SNB, their role within NXT Moerdijk, and how they contribute to our joint vision of strengthening the position of the Moerdijk industrial area.

About SNB

N.V. Slibverwerking Noord-Brabant (SNB) has been active since 1997 and is known for its processing of sewage sludge for water boards. SNB processes approximately 410,000 tons of dewatered sewage sludge annually, representing nearly 30% of the total sludge supply in the Netherlands. Their focus is on reusing positive substances and removing negative substances in a cost-effective and sustainable manner.

SNB's role within NXT Moerdijk

SNB is a valuable partner within NXT Moerdijk, where we strive to connect businesses, government agencies, and educational institutions to strengthen the labor market in the Moerdijk industrial area. SNB's participation underscores their commitment to inspiring the next generation and contributing to a healthy labor market.

Sewage sludge and mono-incineration

SNB processes sewage sludge using mono-incineration, a proven, reliable, and sustainable method. SNB converts sewage sludge, a byproduct of biological wastewater treatment, into reusable raw materials and energy.

From waste to raw materials and energy

During the sludge treatment process, SNB reuses approximately 95% of the resulting residual materials as primary and secondary raw materials. They strive for virtually energy-neutral sludge treatment by recovering electricity using turbines powered by dewatered sewage sludge.

Continuous aiming for reduced environmental impact

SNB recognizes the potential harmful effects of processing sewage sludge and continuously invests in reducing emissions. They apply strict legal standards as a starting point and strive to exceed these standards.

Future-oriented innovation at SNB

SNB is continuing its sustainability journey. They have plans to build a phosphate recycling plant and a nitrogen recycling plant in Moerdijk, further expanding their circular ambitions and contributing to vital raw materials for global food production.

Strong together for a sustainable future

At NXT Moerdijk, we are proud of our partnership with SNB. Their commitment to sustainability and circular practices aligns seamlessly with our vision for a thriving industrial area with a healthy labor market. Together, we will continue to build a sustainable future for Moerdijk and beyond.
