    Consider clearly better the digesters of the wastewater treatment plant Deusen from here: komoot.de/highlight/370414

    Digester of the sewage treatment plant Dortmund-Deusen

    In the evening, they light up green - illuminated at night, thus, a widely visible landmark that shines silver in the sunlight during the day. The two "eggs" are the digesters of the sewage treatment plant Dortmund-Deusen. Before the construction of the plant in 1994, the wastewater flowed untreated into the Emscher. From the area of ​​Dortmund-Mitte, above all Dortmund-Nord, above all, three quarters of industrial wastewater. Only a quarter are household wastewater.

    The eggs, or rather digesters, as they are actually called, are used to heat and circulate the sewage sludge obtained from wastewater treatment. This accelerates the rotting process. The gases obtained through this process are used as energy supply. The dried sewage mass is in turn used as fuel. This means that even the sewage sludge is not waste, but is completely recycled.
