Focusing on Resilience in our Biosolids Programs
The MABA Annual Meeting is offering a technical program on aspects of biosolids treatment and use that advance the principle of resiliency. Preparing biosolids products that have to meet the expectations of multiple customers results in a resilient utilization program. Optimizing the utilization of capital equipment in a way that captures revenue and reduces expenses results in a resilient operational program. As biosolids managers, we can direct our programs toward resiliency by being on top of issues of changing regulation of soils and nutrients, of emerging concerns for organic microcontaminants such as PFAS, and of growing public expectation that we respond to climate and ecosystem deterioration.
