Biosolids and Residuals Management
Our comprehensive biosolids and residuals management services include:
Land Application
We manage application programs that incorporate thousands of dry tons of biosolids into agricultural lands. Services can also include site acquisition, permitting, soil sampling and environmental reporting.
Product Marketing and Distribution
We develop, implement and manage Class A solutions for beneficial usage of processed biosolids, including sales and distribution of EQ/Class A compost, dried pellets and fertilizer to beneficial end users.
Leading-Edge Technologies
Milwaukee has produced Milorganite - a biosolids product - since the 1930s.
To produce a beneficial agricultural product, we leverage our extensive experience with commercially proven technologies, such as alkaline stabilization, enclosed composting and thermal drying solutions.
Our Product Standards Ensure Public Benefits and Safety
Biosolids are typically classified into one of three categories, based on treatment methods and constituents, to ensure public safety and regulatory compliance.
- EQ - Class A biosolids that also comply with one of the 40 CFR 503 options to meet metals limits.
- Class A - Wastewater residuals that typically are treated by a Process to Further Reduce Pathogens (PFRP), such as composting, pasteurization, drying, heat treatment or advanced alkaline treatment.
- Class B - Wastewater residuals that are typically treated using Process to Significantly Reduce Pathogens (PSRP), such as aerobic digestion, anaerobic digestion, air drying and lime stabilization.
