From the US Filter website, June 2, 1999 TORONTO SELECTS USFILTER FOR $22.5 MILLION BIOSOLIDS REUSE SYSTEM - Sustainable System Will Put Wastewater Biosolids Back to Work - TORONTO, Ontario, June 2, 1999 — Toronto has selected USFilter to design and build a $22.5 million (CDN) biosolids management facility that will create all-natural, low-nitrogen content fertilizer pellets suitable for a variety of beneficial use applications. The biosolids drying and pelletizing facility will be built by USF Canada, a subsidiary of USFilter's Operating Services group, which plans to sign a 15-year contract to manage and market the manufactured biosolids pellets. The facility is expected to process about 25,000 DT/Y (dry metric tons per year). The facility will utilize an indirect drying method designed and manufactured by Segher's Better Technology, a multinational company with global product applications. The technology is viewed as a cost-effective, environmentally superior approach that processes biosolids to create all-natural, low-nitrogen content fertilizer pellets. Biosolids are organic sludges and solids that come from wastewater treatment. The new facility, when combined with the city's biosolids direct-land application program, will replace the current practice of incinerating biosolids at Toronto's Main Wastewater Treatment Plant. This is consistent with Toronto's new beneficial use strategy. "Our agreement reflects an environmentally superior approach to biosolids management," said Wallace MacKinnon, project vice president of USF Canada. "Our approach will provide Toronto with a dependable method for creating a usable product that can be used for a variety of fertilizing applications within the city or economically shipped, stored and used at other locations outside Toronto." With USF Canada serving as project manager, the USFilter team will include Dillon Consulting, Bennett Mechanical, USFilter Asdor and USFilter WTC. Separately, USF Canada is currently completing construction on a water treatment facility in Moncton, New Brunswick, with The Hardman Group, an Atlantic Canada company. The Moncton project represents Canada's first major public-private partnership for water services. United States Filter Corporation is a subsidiary of Paris-based Vivendi, the leading global provider of commercial, industrial, municipal and residential water and wastewater treatment systems, products and services, with operations in more than 100 countries. Based in Palm Desert, Calif., USFilter is a leading provider of outsourced water services, including the operation of water and wastewater treatment systems at customer sites. It is also actively involved in the development of privatization initiatives for municipal water treatment facilities in the United States and around the world. Vivendi is a worldwide leader in environmental services as well as a major player in Europe's communications industry.
