NP-bioTech by Antifemo Srl

SMART MATERIALS - 2025 The Program & Exhibition Coordinator of the Smart Materials 2025 (Osaka, Japan) international conference invited dr. Fabrizio Nardo (inventor of NP-bioTech and CEO of Antifemo srl) as Advisory Board Member. The Conference will be held in Osaka (Japan) during 11-13 November 2025. Antifemo is really proud for this further international opportunity to share our scientific knowledge. #smartmaterials2025 #npbiotech #antifemo #fabrizionardo

Circular-WWTP The driving principle of the circular economy is to retain materials in the economy at their maximum value for as long as possible (EC, 2020). The principle is underpinned by the EU waste hierarchy, which ranks waste management options according to their sustainability and gives top priority to preventing and recycling of waste, followed by recovery. In the context of sludge, circular economy concerns facilitating nutrient recycling and making use of secondary raw materials while ensuring environmental and health protection, followed by recovering energy. When Sewage Sludge treatment is limited to simple dewatering/drying, the final fate is disposal in landfills, incineration or, where permitted, spreading on soil (agricultural fields).[see slide 2 black layout] When, on the other hand, the sludge is destined for composting, sometimes after anaerobic treatment to produce biomethane, the resulting product is a highly valuable biofertilizer consistent with the circular economy model. [see slide 2 brown layout] Due to its high nutrient (P, N) and organic matter content, and the energy content of dried sludge comparable to that of woody biomass, sewage sludge is a potential secondary resource which can contribute to Europe’s transition to a circular economy. [see slide 3 Ordinary WWTP layout] When a wastewater treatment plant is integrated, downstream of the sludge line, with an NP-bioTech rapid catalytic composting technology, the WWTP becomes zero waste, and in addition to producing purified water, it becomes a producer of biofertilizer, precisely a Circular-WWTP.

CASE STUDY: A zero waste food-industry production cycle In the heart of Sicily, a company with a vocation for innovation, from the Sicilian blood orange juice production sector, Red Island srl decided to transform the thousands of tons of peels, seeds and pulp (so-called pastazzo di agrumi) into biofertilizer. It has built the first industrial prototype of rapid catalytic composting process (RCCP), called NP-bioTech of the treatment capacity of 25,000 tons/year. Since in the above plant, in addition to citrus pulp, sewage sludge from the Red Island plant's in-house process WWTP is also treated, the Caltagirone plant has become essentially ZERO WASTE.  The resulting product has been registered in the special section of the fertilizer register of the Italian Ministry of Agriculture, dedicated to fertilizers for organic farming.  RED ISLAND'S NP-BIOTECH PLANT holds at least 2 records, one world and the other European. It is the only industrial-scale plant capable of fermenting citrus pulp as is, without any pretreatment (moisture = 84%, acidity pH = 3.4, and presence of essential oils, such as d-limonene) and without mixing it with other biomass or structuring material. In addition, the NP-bioTech plant in Caltagirone is the only composting plant in Europe to operate without the aid of environmental technology devices aimed at abating pollutant emissions and odors. Antifemo srl - Winner of "America Innovation Prize 2023" & "IREN startup award" is really proud of NP-bioTech process is inherently odorless and all pollutant values are well below the limits set by current regulations. In short, we are talking about true GREEN CIRCULAR ECONOMY. #RCCP #NPBIOTECH #Antifemo #RedIsland

Why NP-bioTech is so cheap? As the Catalytic-Substrate (Cat-Sub) is separated from product and re-circulated in the process n-times, it is not a consumable material. And in each new cycle the Cat-Sub becomes more and more effective. #NPbioTech #RCCP #RapidCatalyticCompostringProcess #Antifemo

NP-bioTech is a Rapid Catalytic Composting Process (RCCP) best-in-class in-between the composting processes. It takes only 10 days to compost and pasteurize an anaerobic digestate.

April 18 - We are pleased to announce our participation today (4:30 pm) in the ICESP (Italian Circular Economy Stakeholders Platform) conference as part of ECOMED 2024 in Catania, Sicily. Fabrizio Nardo, inventor and developer of NP-bioTech, will give a talk on Circular-WWTP.
