(free)This paper reports on the development of a good practice guidance document on how to make best use of biosolids. The document provides advice and information on sustainable biosolids recycling to agricultural land. It covers the treatment of sewage sludge to produce biosolids, the benefits associated with using biosolids in agriculture and the regulatory requirements associated with biosolids recycling to agricultural land. Notably, the document includes new information on the phosphate and sulphur supply properties of biosolids. Following the guidance will help knowledgeable practitioners get the most from biosolids applications, and ensure they are compliant with relevant legislation and codes of practice. Additionally, the guidance will enable the water industry to ‘recover’ more value from biosolids sales; helping to offset treatment, transportation and application costs.
The Biosolids conference attracts the most authoritative global experts in the area of biosolids and organic resource handling, treatment and recycling. The programme covers both the latest innovations and updates of existing technologies. Presentations from respected industry experts and newcomers follow the development of technologies and legislation from inception to full-scale installations.
The conference regularly gathers over 200 delegates from all over Europe, many of them return every year both for the technical presentations and fantastic networking opportunities.
Regular conference themes include:
• Thickening and Dewatering
• Modelling Sludge Handling and Utilisation
• Commissioning and Operating Experiences with Thermal Hydrolysis
• Tackling Potential Odour Problems
• Operating Experiences and Potential Problems in Digester Operation
• Ensuring Optimum Energy Recovery from Biogas
• Liquor Treatment and P Removal
