TBF supported SMAT, the operator of the integrated water supply service for the Province of Turin, in the development of a new, innovative plant for thermal sludge oxidation, designed to close the sludge management cycle.

The plant comprises a fluidised-bed furnace with an integrated flue gas cleaning system and a thermal cycle for the combined recovery of electricity and heat. The project also integrates an innovative high-temperature regenerative thermal oxidation system for PFAS treatment.

TBF managed the design contract through all project phases: from the feasibility study to the preparation and submission of the final design. The entire authorisation process was successfully completed, which concluded in early 2026 with the granting of the environmental permit.
