From Raw and Waste Phosphate to Clean Fertiliser and Phosphorus Chemicals
From Raw and Waste Phosphate to Clean Fertiliser and Phosphorus Chemicals
What is SINFERT?
Non-aqueous Generation of Soluble Inorganic Phosphate Fertiliser from Solid Agricultural Biowaste for Sustainable Agrifood Systems. We propose an entirely new technology for producing pure phosphate compounds from secondary sources such as sewage sludge and animal/plant ash. The key chemical step, deoxychlorination (DOC), is combined with well-established industrial steps to form a closed-loop operation providing high-grade soluble inorganic phosphate fertilisers.
High-purity phosphates suitable for agriculture, food production and industrial applications.
EU critical raw materials and circular economy objectives.

We offer a viable pathway to close the phosphorus loop and reduce reliance on non-renewable phosphate resources, supporting long-term food and resource security.
