Biosolids: Black gold in Western Australia

Of the three major wastewater treatment plants in the capital city of Perth, Western Australia, two produce dewatered biosolids cake (DBC) and the third produces lime-amended biosolids (LAB). The total production of both DBC and LAB in the 2004/2005-year was approximately 20,000 tonnes dry solids (t...
