Disposal of the wastewater solids is no easy task.  Municipalities have the option to incinerate, bury or further process the wastewater solids into treated biosolids.  Once treated, this recycled waste, or biosolids, can be applied to land as a fertilizer or soil amendment, saving space in landfills.

Siemens has developed a number of innovative technologies to help municipalities turn wastewater sludge in to biosolids.  These technologies turn the residuals of the wastewater treatment process into high quality Class A and Class B biosolids that are safe for land application.

More and more communities are choosing technologies to safely recycle wastewater solids by treating them and turning them into biosolids, which can be used as a fertilizer to improve and maintain productive soils and stimulate plant growth.   By recycling wastewater solids, communities are helping to save space in landfills and are encouraging the recycling of nutrient-rich wastewater solids.

CASE STUDY:  Investment in Cannibal™ Process Saves Community Money

In 1998, a small Georgia community began operating a Sequencing Batch Reactor wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Unique to the 1-mgd facility was the fact it was built without any biological solids handling equipment. Rising costs associated with handling the biosolids from an existing oxidation ditch facility was the motivating force behind the need to curb these costs as early as the design stage.  Because the town was far too familiar with the cost of sludge hauling, tipping fees, labor, and the rising costs of polymers and energy, it was determined to find a solution that would keep these costs to a minimum for their new facility.
