SATURN: Sensor-sorting Automated Technology for advanced Recovery of Non-ferrous metals
Welcome to the official site of SATURN
EU Eco Innovation Funding ProgrammeThe SATURN project was successful in receiving a grant from the European Commission under the Eco Innovation Funding programme in 2008.
The SATURN project focuses on the demonstration of enhanced recovery of non-ferrous metals from waste using sensor-based sorting technology. Starting in August 2009, a full scale demonstration plant has been installed in Salzgitter, Germany and has been in operation in October 2009. This innovative sensor sorting process will be tested and optimised under real market conditions evaluating waste from different EU countries. Final results will be given out at the final workshop to be held in Aachen, Germany on the 19th April 2012.
The SATURN project officially started on 3rd August 2009 and will run for 33 months.
