About Cambi:

Cambi is a Norwegian technology company specializing in advanced sewage sludge treatment solutions. Established in 1989, it has become the leading global provider of thermal hydrolysis process (THP) systems, technology that breaks down sludge to improve digestion, enabling biogas extraction and destroying harmful microorganisms.

THP offers utilities flexibility to future-proof their sludge management strategy. For those using thermal methods like incineration or drying, it reduces sludge volumes and energy consumption, lowering costs. For facilities that land-apply biosolids, THP produces Class A, pathogen-free, nutrient-rich biosolids suitable for safe agricultural use.

With systems operating in over 80 wastewater treatment plants across 25+ countries, Cambi’s innovative THP technology drives sustainability by minimizing waste, generating renewable energy, and supporting net-zero goals. Learn more at www.cambi.com.
