What Are Biosolids?

“Biosolids” is the word waste treatment industry marketers came up with to rebrand sewage sludge, the solid byproduct of wastewater treatment processes. The reason the industry needed to rebrand sewage sludge was because they planned on marketing and selling the nutrient-rich waste to farmers and home gardeners as cheap fertilizer and compost products.

But biosolids aren’t just rich in nutrients. Biosolids can contain high levels of toxic PFAS “Forever Chemicals” (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) that aren’t removed during the waste treatment process. And neither are the phthalates, pesticides, PCBs, antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals, microplastics, heavy metals, and innumerable other harmful substances that have been found in biosolids.

Applications of biosolids contaminate the soil with toxic PFAS and other chemicals, which are then taken up by crops grown in that soil. PFAS also migrates to contaminate groundwater and surface waters. The meat, milk and eggs of livestock become contaminated when the animals consume adulterated crops and water.

The biosolids industry and the commercial fertilizer and compost companies that use biosolids continue to claim that the products are safe and non-toxic. Even municipalities have been giving out biosolids fertilizer and compost to farmers, community gardens, and home gardeners for free, without warning about the dangers.

Unfortunately, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), though aware of the problem, still allows the commercialization of toxic biosolids. Just as alarming, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) actively promotes the use of biosolids as fertilizer to commercial farmers. We suspect this is due to the revolving door and corporate capture of our regulatory agencies and the resulting collusion, favoring corporate profits over human or environmental health.

In 2022, Sally Brown, Research Professor at the University of Washington and veteran biosolids industry lobbyist, was selected by USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack to serve on USDA’s inaugural Advisory Committee for Urban Agriculture.

Sally Brown once called environmental activists “ecoterrorists” for a successful protest on March 4, 2010, that stopped the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission from giving away sewage sludge as “organic biosolids compost” for home and school gardens.

As you’ll soon read, it’s Sally Brown that is the ecoterrorist for promoting biosolids.

Biosolids Poisoning Farms and Farmers Across America

The practice of using biosolids as fertilizer on conventional farms has been happening for decades but has, more recently, turned into a national catastrophe, creating a crisis for farmers and ranchers across the country.

Although the use of biosolids as fertilizer is prohibited in organic agriculture, even organic farms have been hit hard.

March 22, 2022, The Guardian reported:

Maine organic farmers Johanna Davis and Adam Nordell bought Songbird Farm in 2014. By 2021 the young family with their three-year-old son were hitting their stride, Nordell said. But disaster struck in December. The couple learned the farm’s previous owner had decades earlier used PFAS-tainted sewage sludge, or “biosolids”, as fertilizer on Songbird’s fields. Testing revealed their soil, drinking water, irrigation water, crops, chickens and blood were contaminated with high levels of the toxic chemicals. The couple quickly recalled products, alerted customers, suspended their operation and have been left deeply fearful for their financial and physical wellbeing. “This has flipped everything about our lives on its head,” Nordell said. “We haven’t done a blood test on our kid yet and that’s the most terrifying part. It’s f#####g devastating.” Ironwood Organic Farm, about six miles from Songbird Farm, tested its water and found high levels suspected to have migrated from a neighbors’ sludge-packed field. The small produce farm pulled its products, halted operations and is nervously awaiting more test results. “I spent my entire adult life building this farm,” said Nell Finnigan. “Everything is at stake for us, and this is a tragedy for anyone who comes up with a high [groundwater] well test.” Stoneridge Farm, a small dairy operation more than 100 miles south of Songbird Farm, discovered in 2016 that sludge and paper mill waste used as fertilizer had probably contaminated its cows and milk. Stoneridge killed most of its livestock in 2019. Co-owner Fred Stone was denied federal assistance for his tainted milk because one of its milk tests came in just below the state’s limit, but Stone didn’t feel comfortable selling it. Now his family of four, which believes PFAS is behind their health ailments from thyroid disease to reproductive problems, survives on welfare and friends’ and family’s generosity. Stone said he could have continued to sell contaminated food: “This is the cost of having a moral compass and doing the right thing.” “I don’t know how we are going to get debts paid,” he added. “I don’t know how the Christ we are going to live. I don’t know how we’re going to survive.”

...

March 11, 2024, KCUR reported:

“This is a hundred-year-old operation,” Jason Grostic said. “My grandpa milked cows, my dad milked cows, I milked cows, (then) got into the beef industry. It’s in my blood.” But Grostic may be at the end of the line. Two years ago, he was blindsided when the state of Michigan ordered him to shut down his farm, citing high levels of PFAS in both his beef and soil. Grostic had been using biosolids, a treated byproduct from wastewater plants, to fertilize his crops, which he then fed his cattle. But what he thought was a cost-effective fertilizer, turned out to be laden with PFAS. It’s a risk, Grostic said, no one warned him about — and now his 400-acre farm has been deemed unusable. “I took a fertilizer source that was recommended and was EPA-approved, and the government dropped the ball by not testing it and assuring it was a clean product,” he said.

We encourage you to watch the VICE Special Report, “The Hidden Chemicals Destroying American Farms,” a year long investigation featuring Jason Grostic and his experience with biosolids and PFAS. It will shock you.

Bonita Springs Water Reclamation Facility

The Bonita Springs East Water Reclamation Facility is a wastewater treatment plant that is leading its industry in sustainable practices. Up to 4 million gallons of sewage are processed at this facility every day, and the sewage is turned into new products that are sold to generate revenue for the plant. The process begins when water from drains all around the Bonita Springs area reaches the water reclamation facility through underground pipes. Large materials are removed from the water using a coarse drum screen before it reaches the equalization tank. The equalization tank serves the purpose of treating the sewage at a continuous rate as well as aerating the sewage to reduce malodors. The sewage is then moved through a finer drum screen to remove smaller solids, which are taken to a landfill. Next is the denitrification stage, which occurs inside the anoxic basin. The book “Sustainability Principles and Practice” explains that “some anaerobic bacteria can metabolize some kinds of contaminants that cannot be broken down by aerobic bacteria (Alexander 1999, 369). It is anaerobes who digest food in animal digestive tracts, sewage in wastewater treatment tanks, and buried matter in landfills” (Robertson, 2021, pp. 190-191). Indeed, anaerobic microorganisms are used at the wastewater treatment plant to consume any organic material in the sewage. From the anoxic basin, the water moves into the aerobic basin, where microorganisms use the oxygen in the basin for energy to convert ammonia in the sewage into nitrate and nitrite ions. Next, the water moves through Veolia membranes, which are long fibers with microscopic pores that filter all impurities out of the water. The next steps in the process turn the reclaimed water into products that are profitable for the facility.

According to the textbook, “One industrial ecology strategy sets up closed-loop “food webs” among industries, where output from one industry is input for another and materials are reused. These networks of exchanges are sometimes referred to as industrial symbiosis or industrial metabolism. A complex of industrial facilities that applies these principles in an industrial ecosystem is referred to as an eco-industrial park” (Robertson, 2021, p. 344). The Bonita Springs East Water Reclamation Facility is a great example of a chain in one of these eco-industrial parks. After passing through the membrane basins, the remaining biosolids in the wastewater are mixed with polymers, thickened, and heated, evaporating the remaining water and turning the biosolids into small pellets. These pellets are marketed as fertilizer and make money for the wastewater treatment plant. The recovered water is disinfected using sodium hypochlorite and sent to a water pump station, where it is sold as irrigation water to businesses such as golf courses. Wastewater facilities like this one face many challenges, including excessive amounts of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, limiting the energy used by the plant to run its operations, and limiting the release of endocrine disruptors into the environment. Despite these challenges, the Bonita Springs East Water Reclamation Facility has found a sustainable way to turn “waste” into profitable products that are in high demand by other industries.

Obtaining The Most effective out of Dewatering Tools

Has the Dewatering Effectiveness Declined over time?

Sludge Dewatering and thickening is Among the most common procedures in H2o and Wastewater procedure plants. Belt presses, gravity tables and centrifuges are the same old machines merchandise used. In the situation of belt presses and gravity tables, the simplicity with the products can lull operators and upkeep personnel into a gradual means of letting the devices and options to deteriorate.

A modern study of press installations ranging in age from three to 18 many years has proven that many are increasingly being operated at 10 to thirty% below the first style and design capacity. There are plenty of motives, but usually lessened functionality seems for being because of a mix of factors, like staff turnover, servicing and acquiring selections, as well as a want to decrease the length of time invested adjusting the tools.

A de-tuned method could be more stable, and can tolerate far more variability within the feed problems. Additional obtainable plant potential can also inspire this approach.

General performance elements

In restoring functionality there are two procedure aspects to take into consideration. The first is the fact that sludge dewatering is actually a blended Actual physical /chemical strategy of flocculation, accompanied by a 2nd system, the mechanical stage of the actual dewatering. Efficient operation of both equally ways is important for effective dewatering.

Flocculation

Flocculation of sludges depends strongly on the character of your sludge. Throughout initial

commissioning the machines provider along with the flocculant supplier will normally

do the job alongside one another to pick out the most effective flocculation regime. This features don't just the

alternative of the right flocculant (normally a cationic polymer), but additionally the indicates

of dosing and mixing, as well as the dosage amount. If, in excess of successive many years,

the cure course of action, or even the cure plant influent, changes, these options

might require to be revisited. The dosing options, for instance closing dilution and

mixing changes also must be modified, and these configurations could be very important

to superior general performance.

Flocculant suppliers have an on-likely source of profits from the sale of

chemical compounds, and so are generally the key source of information and repair in

this regard. Nevertheless, They could not have an in-depth knowledge of the mechanical

products changes required to match The brand new circumstances. Moreover, they

Have got a vested curiosity in advertising and marketing their particular items.

The polymer flocculant is the center and soul of the biosolids dewatering

procedure. Whilst doctorate theses abound regarding the functionality and collection

of the proper polymer for an application, the truth is it is a trial and error approach,

with luck and ability associated.

​Commercial Aspects

A typical challenge is H2o Authorities with more than one treatment method plant applying polymer flocculants contacting for tenders for offer of polymer flocculants for your range apps in a single massive agreement. This performs from choosing the right polymer for each application, as occasionally 1 suppliers’ polymer variety will not fit each individual circumstance.

​Due to this technique, It's not at all uncommon to locate poor accomplishing polymers being used, with corresponding decreased dewatering performance of your products. This policy also brings about a flurry of screening exercise at tender time, followed by a lengthy period of time in the course of which the polymer provider focuses his interest in other places.

​A serious occasional issue is often a planet –wide lack of raw resources, which has enhances the value, and alternatively encourages polymer producers to decrease the active information per kilogram of chemical.

​Mechanical Troubles

Along with the method concerns you will discover mechanical upkeep difficulties. Belt presses, like a car or truck, have wear elements which should get replaced, and also demanding occasional adjustment. The principle don parts will be the filter belts, cake scraper “health care provider’ blades, and also the seals to the belt spray wash bins and aspect skirts, as well as spray nozzles.

​Filter Belts

The filter belts Have got a direct impact on the process overall performance, and also the aspect skirt seals can influence course of action general performance. Unfortunately many organizations leave the purchasing of these spares to procurement departments or mechanical maintenance staff, who may purchase purely on apparent price, and the procedure general performance can go through for a consequence.

​The selection of the best filter belt is really a compromise in between an open up weave to really encourage drainage, the necessity to help the cake and lessen losses with the fabric, and the opportunity to wash the belt cleanse. Belt washing might be vital, along with a worn h2o force booster pump, or worn nozzles, in combination with the incorrect option of belt, is a standard recipe for weak approach functionality.

​A further component would be the mechanical strength expected, specifically the resistance of the filter belt to creasing and distortion in the seam (Which leads to a curved seam, which some phone a “smiley encounter” but All those inside the know connect with a “sad facial area”). A high quality belt press provides minimum stresses from the belt, whereas some compromise presses generate more anxiety. The incorrect choice of belt can substantially cut down throughput and capture.

​Seals

Basic merchandise including wash spray seals and enclosures will often be

neglected, resulting in aerosol emissions. While some operators

have documented that they may have tolerated these aerosols for many

a long time with no sick consequences on their own staff, it is far much better to carry

out the bare minimum servicing demanded, and the advantages will include

a happier workforce. A happy operator will consider far more care of his

products and have a tendency to produce a greater method end result.

​Spray Washbox

Seals will need common inspection and alternative wherever important. It is crucial they be put in place accurately in an effort to seal proficiently. A typical installation oversight is to offer insufficient flexibility in the piping to the spray headers to make sure that suitable adjustment is difficult.

​Medical professional Blades

Other small mechanical locations where by faults are made, are cake launch “medical doctor” blades and gravity drainage zone skirt seals. There's a notion that if the thickness of fabric is elevated, it will eventually operate much better. Having said that, in engineering, often larger will not be often improved, and the additional stiffness of health care provider blades and aspect skirt sealing rubbers may result in mechanical difficulties which include inadequate belt monitoring, and elevated motor electric power consumption, and shorter belt daily life.

​Tuning

Similar to a motor vehicle, sludge dewatering programs should be tuned by specialist personnel at common intervals. A plant with small improvements in functioning employees and approach disorders may only need to have re-tuning each individual three or four many years, While yearly tuning and re­teaching might be appropriate for wastewater plants in higher development regions and with swift team turnover.

Changes to sludge age can change the characteristics from the sludge, and need a special polymer and press settings.

In tuning, the professional will evaluate the system from the biosolids conditioning substances in the mixing and flocculation routine, and correlate this Along with the belt speeds, form of filter belt weave, belt pressures, and attributes of the particular belt press. Some presses for instance are really tough within the formed floccs, Whilst Some others may need a more Light action. The specialist could also spot mechanically established course of action troubles, including bad belt washing or range.

​Centrifuges

These types of aspects can also be legitimate regarding centrifuge dewatering equipment, but designed more intricate by The truth that the Visible clues provided by the belt push aren't out there Together with the centrifuge. It's also simpler to ignore very poor performance of a centrifuge procedure, as the process are all occurring In the machine, beneath a canopy. Off-tune centrifuges will consume a whole lot extra polymer, or might develop much deteriorated capture costs, as well as lowered throughput.

​Summary

A thoroughly adjusted dewatering program will present Price tag financial savings by way of lessened polymer consumption, manpower for operation, and energy usage. An additional reward is often lessened disposal costs from a drier cake. As being a large proportion on the running price of a cure plant is usually attributed into the sludge dewatering and managing, a little financial investment in maintaining and tuning this equipment can result in substantial financial savings.
