Wastewater treatment has become an essential process to meet the growing demand of water across the globe on account of increasing population and rapid urbanization. What we flush down the toilet and plug-holes in our house eventually requires treatment at a sewage treatment plant. Wastewater is treated when it reaches the 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, resulting in formation of biosolids. The final quality of the biosolids produced depends on the quality of the sewage entering the treatment plant and the treatment process. Biosolids are graded according to chemical composition and the level of pathogens remaining after production. These biosolids 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 production. This wide range of biosolid application is driving the global biosolids market, which is estimated to reach a total market value of $174.98 million by the end of 2020 from $133.60 million in 2014, a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.60% for the forecast period.
