ANZBP member survey 2022
ANZBP/AWA would like to thank our members for their ongoing support and engagement in FY21-22, which have allowed us to advocate and promote the sustainable development of biosolids as well as continue to provide members with benefits and services. FY22-23 is shaping to be another big year of action for ANZBP, and we would like to hear from you about what we are doing well, what more we should do, what you would like to see, and what we can improve on. The survey should take approximately five minutes to complete.
Thanks again for your contribution. If you have any queries, please contact the ANZBP Program manager.
The survey is available at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/8YGNBNH.
ANZBP biosolids production and end-use survey 2021
In 2010, the Australian & New Zealand Biosolids Partnership (ANZBP) commissioned a national survey to identify the main features of biosolids management across Australia and New Zealand. The survey was repeated in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2021.
Surveys to 2019, inclusive, catalogued and reported the following primary parameters:
- Biosolids production;
- Biosolids end use;
- Biosolids stabilisation grade;
- Biosolids contamination grade; (added in 2013)
- Biosolids primary stabilisation process;
- Biosolids dewatering process.
This year additional data has been collected to both update the survey in line with current and predicted trends and to obtain data that is anticipated to be useful to ANZBP members and government departments. These data are:
- Biosolids secondary stabilisation processes;
- End-use management and branding;
- Stockpile volumes;
- Transportation of biosolids to the end-use site;
- Emerging contaminant management;
- Renewable energy production.
The final reports of the survey are now available for ANZBP members on the Member site of the ANZBP website. If you are an employee of ANZBP partners and need access to ANZBP resources and data, feel free to reach out to the ANZBP Program manager.
ANZBP member meeting during Ozwater
During Ozwater'22, ANZBP held a Member meeting. It was great to meet and discuss with ANZBP members in person. During the meeting, Kelly Hopewell, Chair of the ANZBP Advisory Committee, updated on ANZBP's recent works and presented ANZBP's focus and priorities in FY22-23. Also, ANZBP members had a chance to share and update their works and help us shape ANZBP's future directions.
