[USCC] Biosolids

[CAVM@aol.com]

In view of the controversy and potential liability involving biosolids we  
have cut back on the projects we are willing to become involved in with  them. 
We are investigating high intensity anaerobic digestion to extract energy  from 
biosolids as part of the waste water treatment process. 
 
But more interesting is the potential to short stop the wastewater  treatment 
process and pull the biosolids from the liquid as soon as possible  without re
gard to pathogen control or volume reduction.  The solids can be  dried by 
surplus heat from a process which uses the biosolids as combustion  fuel. No 
pathogens would be likely to survive 2500F combustion.  Odor  control, reduced 
processing costs, disposal reduction and energy production are  all worthwhile 
byproducts.
