Opening the secondment season: Erika Sinisgalli (DC9) embarks on her first secondment at Nijhuis Saur Industries

Erika Sinisgalli (DC9 PhD candidate at INRAE) is the first PhD candidate in the INCLUE project to embark on a secondment at Nijhuis Saur Industries. With her extensive background in optimising anaerobic digestion and biomass pre-treatments, Erika is now taking on a new challenge. At Nijhuis, she will be focused on understanding the source and handling principles of sludge samples, investigating the impact of electrochemical treatment on sludge nutrients’ availability and pollutants’ removal. Plus, she will be in contact with industrial experts and engineers to enlarge her network and get
