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.
Biosolids
Market: Segmentation
The
biosolids market can be segmented in terms of application
(agricultural land application, non-agricultural land application,
and energy production), class (class A, class A – EQ, and class B),
form (cake, liquid and pellets), and region (North America, Latin
America, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Europe).
Biosolids
Market: Region-wise outlook
North
America dominates the bio-solids market. The biosolids market in
Europe is also anticipated to expand significantly during the
forecast period. It is estimated to be followed by Asia Pacific.
