Biosolids & Sludge

Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies is committed to providing innovative solutions for biosolids and sludge. Our treatment technologies focus on performance enhancement, renewable energy, beneficial reuse, and minimisation.

We offer safe and environmentally friendly solutions to help overcome biosolid challenges faced by municipalities and industries around the world.

Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies' technological expertise covers the full water cycle, sludge recycling and some in-process solutions. Biological stabilisation techniques for sludge basically consist of slowing down or even stopping the putrid fermentation that leads to odour pollution.

The drivers for advanced sludge treatment:

  • Society is demanding sustainable, beneficial reuse
  • Increasing costs of wet cake transport - fuel, truck movements
  • Landfill and stockpile options and running out
  • Increasing value of biogas and electricity
  • The technology exists to economically, efficiently treat biosolids
