Sharjah 24: The Sharjah Municipality launched the organic fertiliser production unit project as one of the innovative projects during the UAE Innovation Month and the Year of Sustainability, with the goal of enhancing the municipality's role in achieving sustainability and producing high-quality organic fertilisers for use in agricultural projects.
The initiative, which serves 1,685,000 individuals, is being executed for the first time outside of the United States and Canada. The treatment facility in the project has a capacity of 50,000 cubic metres per day and a processing volume of 1,750 dry tonnes.

Every day, the plant generates 5 tonnes of free of pathogenic organisms liquid organic fertiliser. The production rate will be increased to 30 tonnes per day.

The fertiliser generated will meet the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Class A biosolids criteria as well as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's (CFIA) controlled fertiliser standards.

According to third-party research, the product generated by this unit may totally replace commercial fertilisers and deliver higher yields; it also kills Escherichia Coli and Salmonella pathogens from biosolids in less than an hour.

In addition to the nitrogen and phosphorus that are naturally contained in the biosolids, the unit enhances the product content of other major agriculturally necessary elements, such as potassium, resulting in an excellent fertiliser that can compete with commercial fertilisers.
