The project is based around treatment of Sludge from the canal in combination with Organic Waste in a bid to recuperate some of the nutrients lost through erosion. I will propose a prototype installation capable of treating about 1/8 of the sludge from the Brussels region (5.000 m^3/year out of about 40.000 m^3/year). The goal is to move all of this waste/fertile soil/sludge through the canal. This will involve some on site laboratories and also a small exhibition space about organic waste treatment and the canal.
