NAS of Belarus to present over 60 developments and technologies at ECOLOGY EXPO – 2023

Scientific organizations of the NAS of Belarus will present over 60 developments and technologies at the International Specialized Environmental Exhibition Forum ECOLOGY EXPO – 2023.

The Institute of Housing and Communal Services of the NAS of Belarus will demonstrate the technology of processing sewage sludge and the organic part of solid municipal waste into biocomposts. The technology introduction will allow: to reduce the amount of sewage sludge sent to storage facilities by 5-10%; to increase the volume of the organic part processing of municipal solid waste by 10%; to increase crop yields by 5-10%; to reduce the area under the stored sediment and reduce the negative impact on the environment. The exhibition will feature full-scale samples of biocompost, samples of flower and vegetable products, lawn grass, based on biocompost.

The Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the NAS of Belarus will show a resource-saving and environmentally friendly technology for processing clay-salt sludge of potash production, which will reduce the risks of environmentally hazardous above-ground storage of liquid concentrated salt waste. In addition, the technology will save mineral ore resources by recycling waste and using processed products, as well as it will save land withdrawn from agricultural circulation for sludge storage.

The Institute of Microbiology of the NAS of Belarus will present BioNeit biological product to activate purification and eliminate odors in closed systems of biological treatment facilities. The product is based on highly active strains of microorganisms with a high destructive potential in relation to a number of foul-smelling compounds formed as a result of the biological decomposition of organic substances, as well as proteins and carbohydrates.

The Polessky Agrarian-Ecological Institute of the NAS of Belarus will demonstrate the technology of processing waste from industrial enterprises and sewage sludge into organic fertilizers. The fertilizer is intended for use in agricultural production, on household plots and is produced with the use of fermented industrial sewage sludge from local treatment facilities of dairy processing enterprises.

The II International Specialized Exhibition ECOLOGY EXPO – 2023 will be held from August 22 to 24, 2023 in Minsk (Minsk, Pieramozhcaw ave. 14, BelExpo Exhibition Center) under the title Green Technologies: Challenges and Opportunities for the Economy. The Forum is dedicated to the Year of Peace and Creation.
