12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CST


Location: Zoom





Event Description
Biosolids Centrate as a Resource Recovery Stream
Wednesday, February 18, 2026

Noon to 1 p.m.
Zoom Webinar


The IWEA Biosolids Committee is pleased to welcome Shubhashini Oza, who will present a case study of eight Ohio water resource recovery facilities. Biosolids dewatering processes leave behind a liquid stream containing high nutrient and metal levels which can be useful, but also have potential for causing operational and maintenance issues in water resource recovery facilities.
