Biosolids Market: Overview
Biosolids,
commonly referred to as sewage sludge, are the leftover sludge from wastewater
treatment. Biosolids are considered organic solids derived from the sewage
treatment processes that are in a state that they can be managed to sustainably
utilize their nutrient, soil conditioning, energy, or other value (i.e. achieve
minimum standards for classification as T3 and C2 Biosolids). The solids that
do not meet these criteria are defined as sewage sludge. They are used as
natural fertilizer and waste product and offer an eco-friendly method
for substituting chemical fertilizers. Wastewater treatment is one of the
essential processes to produce biosolids owing to the depletion in energy
resources, increase in population, and rise in urbanization. Wastewater is
treated when it reaches a plant, and in the process organic matter and
nutrients are removed, thereby creating solid waste. This waste is further
treated to remove odor and harmful organisms, thus resulting in the formation
of biosolids. The final quality of biosolids produced depends on the quality of
the sewage entering the treatment plant and the treatment
process. Biosolids are graded according to their chemical composition and
the level of pathogens remaining after production. They are rich in minerals
and nutrients, and are increasingly used in a variety of sectors, ranging from
agriculture (used in the form of soil conditioner and fertilizer) to energy.
Biosolids Market: Dynamics and Trends
Biosolids are
employed in various applications. Major applications include agriculture (crop
fertilizer), water treatment, energy recovery, mine reclamation, and crop
fertilizer. Rise in agricultural activities across the globe is
expected to boost the adoption of biosolids in the agricultural sector.
Heat generation using biosolids as fuel is the major application in energy
production. Implementation of stringent government emission laws is considered
a major factor driving the biosolids
market. This allows wastewater (sludge) from chemical plants and
factories to be treated in an acceptable level. This boosts the usage of
biosolids. Biosolids provide an eco-friendly way of replacing hazardous
chemical fertilizers. Treated sludge or biosolids are used in a wide range of
applications; of this, agriculture is the dominant application of the biosolids
market.
Limited
technological advancements is a key factor restraining the biosolids market.
High capital expenditure and significant operating costs have also been hurdles
for the biosolids market.

The biosolids
market is currently expanding in developed economies in Europe and
the Americas. Developing countries present immense opportunities for the
biosolids market, mainly due to the prevalence of vast agricultural activities.
Rapid consumption of biosolids in agricultural and non-agricultural
applications across the globe and emerging applications related to energy are
anticipated to drive the biosolids market in the near future.
