Please join us on Thursday March 9, 2017 at 4:00PM for a tour of Manatee County’s innovative Biosolids Facility at the Southeast Water Reclamation Facility located at: 3331 Lena Rd., Bradenton, FL. The facility processes all of the Biosolids for the three Manatee County Water Reclamation Facilities to produce AA Biosolids with a landfill gas  powered, thermal drum dryer. Waste methane gas generated by Manatee County’s Landfill adjacent to the facility is used as a primary fuel source, avoiding the expense of natural gas and creating a unique synergy between solid waste management and wastewater treatment. Manatee County also saves hundreds of thousands of dollars by eliminating 25,000 tons of sludge land application and produces low grade fertilizer pellets that generate revenue for the County. The tour will start at the new maintenance building at the Water Reclamation Facility, see attached map for directions from Lena Rd. Please arrive up to 15 minutes early.  

Light refreshments will be served from 345pm -430pm.  The County will give a short presentation after 4pm and the group will head to the Biosolids facility around 430pm.
