Innovations in Biosolids Highlighted at WEFTEC 2013

The latest in biosolids management methods and technologies were presented at the Innovation Pavilion at WEFTEC 2013.  The Gas, Diesel or Fertilizer: Innovations in Biosolids session highlighted technologies from a renewable diesel technology that won the U.S. EPA Green Chemistry award in 2012 to biogas cleaning technology adapted from the semiconductor industry.  We would like to thank the following speakers for advancing the sector in innovative ways:
