Village Creek Facility Biosolids Management and Beneficial Reuse

• Project typeWater & Wastewater Improvements
• Project value$60,960,461.00

Fort Worth is changing the current method of repurposing treated biosolids at the Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility. The current process is to pump the biosolids to a city-owned processing facility where they are dewatered using belt filter presses, then chemically conditioned for pathogen and odor control. The treated biosolids are transported to agricultural sites in eight counties in north Texas where they are used as fertilizer.

The new approved method involves thermal direct drum drying of the biosolids. The goal is to produce a high quality dry, granular product at a reasonable cost that can be marketed in multiple ways. The new drum drier will be able to use biogas, a renewable energy source produced at the Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility, as a fuel source.

This capital improvement project is in Fort Worth Council District 5.
