Published purpose

The objective of this project is to increase the phosphorus (P) nutrient value and other soil supplements (sulphur, calcium, and silica) in the biosolids produced by the Ottawa municipal wastewater treatment plant, with an inexpensive and low-risk process that could be replicated at other similar wastewater treatment plants to provide local farmers with locally generated enriched biosolids.
