Frost & Sullivan awards Centrisys with 2019 North American Product Leadership Award
Frost & Sullivan presented its 2019 North American Product Leadership Award to Centrisys/CNP for its PONDUS thermal hydrolysis process (THP). With this product, Centrisys allows the North American sludge treatment industry to accelerate the sustainability of anaerobic digestion but also to significantly enhance THP. Thermo-chemical hydrolysis process (TCHP) reduces the volume of solids, which boosts the availability of digester capacity and the quality of outputs in biogas and solids. Biogas can be turned into heat, while the cake solids can be turned into fertilizer, soil amendments or nutrients.
