In a recent trial, ElectroCell’s bio-electric treatment was able to successfully reduce fecal coliform in 300,000 gallons of municipal biosolids by over 95%. Our bio-electric treatment is able to bring biosolids to Class B or, in some cases, to Class A level without the expense and environmental impact of alkaline additives. Biosolids treatment typically requires expensive heat, composting or lime treatments to bring fecal coliform within regulatory limits.
In the case of liquid lime, the biosolids are brought to a Ph level of 12 during treatment. This effectively destroys fecal coliform, but the resulting high Ph material is not an ideal soil supplement. With ElectroCell’s bioelectric treatment, coliform is quickly and cost-effectively controlled, the land-applied odor is significantly reduced and the resulting material is a more plant and environmentally friendly fertilizer.
