Feasibility of Stabilizing Wastewater Biosolids Using Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) Technology

The proposed research to be undertaken is intended to assess the feasibility of using black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) to disinfect and stabilize wastewater biosolids. The project includes the determination of conditions to optimize performance of the BFSL and provide an on-site method of biosolids management for the Municipality of Colchester. If proven successful, the process could provide municipalities throughout the country with an alternative means to treat biosolids that could be less expensive and more environmentally responsible.
