Innovation in sludge treatment can be a challenging process。 A newly developed or innovativesludge disinfection process not only has to function in accord with prevailing federal, state andlocal regulations, but also must adhere to ever-increasing restrictions imposed by the regulatoryauthorities。 The entire process, from development and testing to implementation, must be welldocumented in order to be approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA)Pathogen Equivalency Committee (PEC)。 An advanced alkaline process, Schwing Bioset? hasrecently received approval from the PEC to modify operating conditions。 The Schwing BiosetProcess is a continuous plug-flow advanced alkaline process that uses a closed-system todisinfect dewatered residuals。 This paper will detail the steps involved in the approval process,including documentation of pathogen inactivation and the time and costs involved along the pathto Process to Further Reduce Pathogens (PFRP) approval。
