Figure 11 Biosolids stabilisation grade in NSW and ACT – Figure 12 Biosolids stabilisation grade in QLD – Figure 13 Biosolids stabilisation grade in South Australia – Figure 14 Biosolids stabilisation grade in Tasmania – Figure 15 Biosolids stabilisation in Victoria – Figure 16 Biosolids stabilisation grade in WA and NT – Biosolids management can be separated into two main categories, treatment and beneficial use. These categories can be further broken down into the following main steps: Treatment dewatering stabilisation storage (at treatment plant) The two main in treating biosolids are stabilisation and dewatering. Stabilisation reduces the levels of pathogens and odour potential of biosolids. Dewatering removes water and hence reduces the volume of biosolids for subsequent use. Dewatering is an important step in improving the handling characteristics of biosolids and reducing the cost of subsequent management. The most common biosolids treatment processes are shown in the figures below. No data is currently available on biosolids storage.
