### Veolia's biosolids treatment processes and technologies focus on performance enhancement, renewable energy, and beneficial reuse.

We are committed to providing innovative solutions with proven value-added performance, offering a comprehensive solution for every part of the biosolids management process in order to be flexible to individual needs, or to outfit the entire process for a program or department within a municipality.

#### Our biosolids management technologies transform vital resources into clean water, clean energy, and valuable end products, thereby empowering utility owners to develop their own regional circular economies.  


**Reduction in disposal waste**

**Recovery of valuable byproducts including:**

- Biosolids as alternate for fertilizer
- Nutrients (sulfur, phosphorus)
- Energy (biogas, electricity, heat)
- Water (for reuse)

**New revenue stream for facility from:**

- Accepting waste from Municipality
- Stabilized biosolids as alternate for fertilizer
- Nutrients recovered during the biosolids management process
- Renewable bioenergy and electricity generation from biosolids

 Capabilities

 



 

 



**BIOWASTE METHANIZATION**

Veolia Water Technologies recovers and recycles your biomass and biowaste in order to extract the most added value from it.

**WASTE TO ENERGY RESOURCE**

We offer effective treatment solutions, including municipal biosolids management, that focus on waste collection, performance enhancement, renewable energy, beneficial reuse, and optimization.

**PHOSPHORUS RECOVERY**

Recovering phosphorus contained in wastewater leads to a reduction in the production of sludge and the production of sludge with a reduced phosphorus content. This aids in the protection of local ecosystems as too much phosphorus can harm water quality.



 

 

 

 

 

 





 



 Technologies

 



 

 



[**BioCon™**](/en/expertise/municipal-market/biosolidsbioenergy/biocon-thermal-sludge-drying "BioCon™ Thermal Sludge Drying System") **dryer** is a dual-belt convective air dryer designed to be one of the safest on the market. Low operating temperatures allow the process to utilize a variety of waste heat sources, such as the easily added BioCon Energy Recovery System (ERS), or BEES BioCon Energy Exchange System.

[**BioCon™ ERS**](/en/expertise/municipal-market/biosolidsbioenergy/biocon-ers-pfas-destruction "BioCon™ ERS for PFAS Destruction") **(Energy Recovery System**) is a safe and sustainable drying and combustion system that combines the efficiencies of a low-temperature belt dryer with a biomass furnace to recover sensible heat and combust organic material.

By diverting more organic material to the anaerobic digester, [**Ecrusor™**](http://watertechnorthamerica.veolia.acsitefactory.com/en/ecrusor-food-depackaging-and-organics-recovery "Ecrusor Depackaging") is a key tool to increase a plant's biogas and energy production capacity. Ecrusor helps turn waste facilities into resource recovery facilities by converting more waste into energy in a circular economy approach to waste treatment.

CBJ faced uncertainty over environmental regulations and acceptance by the landfills and haulers, had historical complaints of odors from neighbors near the Capital Disposal landfill in Juneau, leaking shipping containers, annual hauling costs, and continued exposure to fuel price volatility risks. Veolia’s[ BioCon™](https://www.veoliawatertech.com/en/solutions/technologies/bioco?__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=7KkglHD.8rhnuTPb8MxyQfNdfP1TeQPDKDY369OLO60-1637169424-0-gaNycGzNCL0) medium temperature belt dryer was selected and meets CBJ’s four guiding principles for selection.

[**Net Zero Resource Recovery**](http://watertechnorthamerica.veolia.acsitefactory.com/en/publications/case-studies/converting-organics-to-renewable-bioenergy "Hermitage Case Study")

Hermitage Municipal Authority undertook a major upgrade of its solids handling facility to increase treatment capacity and to boost biogas generation.

[**Class A Solution**](/en/case-studies/how-manage-biosolids-production-class-solution "How to manage biosolids production with a Class A solution?")

Upgrading the Picnic Point Wastewater Facility with Veolia's BioCon biosolids dryer has reduced the amount of biosolids to be disposed of as well as producing a Class A biosolid.

[**Effective Phosphorus Removal & Sludge Drying**](http://watertechnorthamerica.veolia.acsitefactory.com/en/publications/case-studies/producing-class-biosolids-facility "Western Wake case study")

Hydrotech Discfilters provide effluent polishing, phosphorus removal, and wastewater reclamation while the BioCon provides sludge drying at the Western Wake Regional Water Reclamation Facility in Durham, NC.

   ![](/sites/g/files/dvc3601/files/styles/default/public/image/2020/04/BuffaloWWTP2-09101.jpg.webp?itok=8dpDo5ka)   



[**Thermal Energy Savings**](/en/case-studies/reduce-biosolids-costs-and-increase-capacity "Reduce biosolids costs and increase capacity")

BioCon Dryer and ERS systems allow for a small footprint that contains odors and meets the Class A requirements while also saving the plant 70-80% of the required thermal energy that leads to a smaller carbon footprint.
