Infiniterra provides life back into the environment
What are Biosolids ?
Biolsolids are the treated, nutrient-rich and organic residual sediment of wastewater treatment facilities. Biolsolids contain nitrogen, phosphorous, organic matter, as well as essential micro-nutrients, such as copper, iron, molybdenum and zinc. These are all vital components of plant growth and soil fertility. Use of biosolids as a fertilizer on agricultural fields, practices the important means of recycling the potential nutrients of waste.
Are Biosolids Beneficial For The Communities?
Biosolids are a valuable nutrient source for growing field crops and assist in maintaining urban landscapes. Using biosolids:
- Reduces the need for commercial fertilizers
- Reduces production costs
- Improves soil fertility
- Enhances the soils structure, permeability and moisture retention
- Assists to maintain optimal soil tilth and reduce erosion
The recycling of this valuable resource benefits society, as well as the environment. Crop farmers receive a substantial economic benefit, as the biosolids provide nitrogen, phosphorus and other crucial micro-nutrients, which would otherwise have to be purchased. Furthermore, recycling biosolids is an environmentally beneficial alternative, as it frees up valuable landfill space and reduces overall greenhouse gas emissions.
How Does Infiniterra Solutions Work?
Thus far, municipalities rely on land application to manage their biosolids. However, at Infiniterra Solutions, we are positive that this approach is not reliable. Thanks to the power of our channel aeration composting technology, infiniterra Solutions is one of the most reliable in the industry.
Biosolids are transported from the city’s wastewater treatment facilities and are unloaded into a mixing area at the composting facility. Here, the biosolids are mixed with various fibers such as woodchips. This mixture then undergoes active composting in a concrete channel, which is equipped with individual airflow systems. Temperature levels are monitored to accelerate the decomposition. During this period, the compost is turned by our automated RotoKing® Technology, which is located in the channel. This further agitates and aerates the mixture. All the while, our biofilter system elinminates odor.
Following the channel composting process, the compost is placed within an aerated curing channel or into a storage area. This ensures that the end product meets the composting standards by Organic Matter Recycling Regulation (OMRR)
After completing the composting process, this product can be used by its own municipality for urban landscaping purposes, as well as be sold to topsoil blenders, nurseries, landscapers, golf courses and retail distributors.

The Key Elements of Infiniterra Solutions
Biofilter system is the least expensive treatment option for the odor compounds associated with composting by reducing sulfur compounds and amines, and a wide range of volatile organic compounds and ammonia. Biofilter system is the most common method of odor control in the composting industry.
Composting In An Aerated Channel
The material undergoes active composting in a concrete channel, which is equipped with individual airflow systems on the bottom. Temperature levels are monitored to accelerate decomposition. The compost is turned by our automated RotoKing® technology to further agitate and aerate the mixture.
RotoKing® Compost Turner
Our RotoKing® compost turners are optimally designed for the efficient composting of organic waste and are used by municipalities, as well as farms throughout Canada, USA and Europe. The controls on the RotoKing® biosolids management system allow for bridge travel, drum control and overall system controls. While easy to use and operate, this panel allows for great flexibility and versatility.
Trommel Screener Package
Our trommel screeners are highly efficient in the separation and processing of woodchips, topsoil, compost, light demolition waste, domestic waste and aggregates. Their rotating drums roll larger pieces of material to allow for all fine materials to flow down through the trommel screen plates.
