The project purpose was to obtain an innovative bio-solid composite (as ecological nutrient for agriculture) resulted from the mixture of sludge from Romanian wastewater treatment plants with residual marine biomass (seaweed) from the Black Sea. These two biomasses were never used, together or separated.

This new compound will be used as an innovative environmental non-conventional technology for agriculture, in relation with the benefits of marine water protection.
The main activities unrolled during this project were concentrated on the following:
1.Exhaustive characterization: evaluation of biological, microbiological, physical-chemical and biochemical parameters of residue marine biomass and waste sludge biomass.
2.Identification of the best methods of sterilization of the two biomasses by testing several innovative variants.
3.Achieving combinations and testing the optimal ratios of marine biomass and of waste sludge to obtain the bio-solid ecological fertilizer to be tasted on the Romanian soil.
Alongside this three principle activities it was taken into account the collaboration with the Norwegian partners which monitored the project and shared their experience through: study visits ( two made by the Norwegian experts in Romania and two made by the Romanian experts in Norway); the international seminar with experts from all the partners and a constant communication and assistance.
Likewise the partial results of the project were disseminated by participating at three International Conferences with 5 scientific papers having the Romanian and Norwegian partners as authors.
One of the most important achievements of this project was the patent proposal of the ecological fertilizer for witch all the partners contributed at the final variant of the composite. Also a new project proposal under FP7 was submitted for the accomplishment of the project results in a pilot technology for producing the ecological composite. The final results exceed the scientific hypotheses enunciated at the inception of the project proposal.
