New Edmonton plant makes fertilizer from waste water
Sep 24:
Epcor unveiled a new facility Wednesday that removes phosphorous and nitrogen from wastewater and turns it into "pearls" of fertilizer to be spread on farmers' fields.
8The facility, which Epcor describes as "Canada's largest wastewater nutrient recovery facility," was built in partnership with Ostara Nutrient Recovery Technologies.
8Sewage from the city flows into the Gold Bar wastewater treatment plant, and after an initial round of treatment is piped to Clover Bar, said Simon Thomas, plant director.
8The new $18-million plant, located at Clover Bar, then takes in the remaining water and recovers phosphorus and nitrogen from it, turning it into pellets of slow-release fertilizer, Thomas said.
