PASTEURIZATION
EMC is investigating new technology that may be a very cost effective method for the treatment
and disposal of biosolids. This option involves the pasteurization of the biosolids. The end
product would be classified "Class A" biosolid as defined by th~ USEPA. This type of product
would be considered as exceptional quality (EQ), and would meet low-pollutant, and Class A
(virtually absent of pathogens) limits, and have a reduced level of degradable compounds that
attract vectors (rodents, insects, etc.). EQ biosolids are considered a product that is virtually
unregulated for use, whether used in bulk, sold, or given away in bags and other containers.
This product would hhve potential for enhancing soil through its nutrient value, in the
landscaping and gai-dening markets.
The biosolids produced at the Jeffersonville facility is considered "Class B" biosolids, which
meets the same low-pollutant concentration (PC) limits as EQ biosolids, but only meet the Class
B pathogen reduction and/or are subjected to site management practices. Unlike EQ biosolids,
PC biosolids may only be applied in bulk and are subject to general requirements.
EMC believes that the future potential of marketing this product will be significant. EMC
would like to explore this option in more detail and submit a report of findings to the City by
July 31, 1995.
Class A biosolids can be sold or gtven away to the public.
