Thermal Hydrolysis is a two-stage process that combines high-pressure heating of sludge followed by rapid decompression. Sludge refers to the residual, semi-solid material that is produced as a by-product during waste water treatment of industrial or municipal wastewater. The process sterilizes the sludge, making it a more useful product called ‘cake’ which is used by farmers as fertilizer. It also causes the sludge to produce a higher content of methane, eliciting a better biogas product that is used to create electricity to power the works and surrounding residential areas. Thus, thermal hydrolysis delivers a more sustainable, green energy source, whilst also converting sludge into a useful fertilizer product.
“The innovative part to this process is this thermal hydrolysis and that’s the interesting bit where the magic happens”

One of the main pillars on which CEMEX bases their strategy is sustainability and continuously searching different ways to innovate without losing commitment to its stakeholders. CEMEX is creating new purposes for materials that traditionally would have entered the landfill, providing our communities with an effective and secure way to alleviate the social, economic and environmental issues associated with municipal waste management. The Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) is a fuel produced from municipal solid waste (MSW), the alternatives fuel program -with high calorific value- is a key part of CEMEX sustainable manufacturing program. The cities need to become environmental friendly where waste for one entity delivers value for another. One key effort is the use of solid wastes to fuel our cement facilities. These wastes that contain recoverable energy are predominantly residues. In Mexico City the landfills receive 4,444,000 tons of solid waste per year, only 47% of this waste can be used as Refuse-derived fuel. Through this initiative CEMEX is co-processing 576,000 tons of solid waste (12% of the waste from MSW). As part of our sustainability efforts, CEMEX continuously strive to find ways to meet the demands of a growing urban society without compromising the planet for future generations.
The device reads and senses the water temperature. While the water is below the desired level, the device will place it in a tank. When the right temperature is reached, it will let us know through a light and sound, so we can start enjoying warm water. Besides that, the device will allow you to mix the hot and cold water to obtain a certain comfort point with the water previously saved avoiding recirculations and lowering the energy comsumption.
