  • The use of biosolids provides a valuable renewable source of nutrients and soil structure enhancement for the agricultural industry. Treatment of biosolids into a liquid fertilizer, with sub-surface application at computer system-controlled loading rates, allows for an additional level of management of nutrient loadings and for ensuring compliance with US EPA regulations. We support innovative technologies such as this which provide benefits to generators and enhance the quality of the product for end-users.
