The reuse of municipal biosolids as a fertilizer product or soil amendment offers multiple benefits, from both an economic and environmental perspective. Recycling biosolids creates revenue where waste management costs once incurred. Furthermore, biosolids are rich in macro and micronutrients, a valuable commodity to soils which are nutrient deficient.
Generally speaking, the benefits of granulating biosolids include:
-
- Improved product handling and application.
- Reduced waste management costs.
- Decreased opportunity for runoff.
- The formation of a custom product.
- The potential for an additional source of revenue.
- Enhanced nutrient management.
Through granulation, biosolids can be transformed into a dry, granular product that is nearly odor-free, minimally dusty, and still rich in nutrients and organic matter. To learn more, contact a FEECO expert today!
