Stircor, a leader in sustainable biosolid processing solutions, has partnered with the City of Orlando Water Reclamation Division (OWRD) to implement biosolids drying technology at the Water Conserv II (WCII) Water Reclamation Facility.听 Stircor will be drying a minimum of 60,000 tons of biosolids from WCII and Iron Bridge Regional Water Reclamation Facility and has partnered with听Astec Industries听to supply state-of-the-art industrial equipment for the facility.
The project, which will be operational in Fall of 2025, will upgrade Orlando鈥檚 biosolids program by converting existing solids into Class A biosolids, in compliance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Part 503 biosolids regulation. By leveraging Stircor鈥檚 on-site drying services the City of Orlando is advancing its commitment to environmentally responsible biosolids management.
Stircor provides a comprehensive, end-to-end biosolids management service that allows OWRD to focus on its core mission of returning clean water to the city.听 Stircor is responsible for designing, building, and operating all necessary equipment, delivering a turnkey solution that minimizes the operational burden on OWRD.听 As part of the service, Stircor covers all operating and maintenance costs and provides trained staff to run the system, eliminating the need for the City to allocate internal resources.听 This fully managed approach results in the production of Class A biosolids, giving the City multiple disposal or reuse options while ensuring compliance.
