Is NVS going to cause water pollution from heavy metals?
Absolutely not! The N-Viro process uses the high pH of the process to effectively bind with heavy metals, forming metal hydroxides that are insoluble. Even if the pH were to drop below neutral, the metal hydroxides will not leach into groundwater or runoff into surface waters. N-Viro’s stringent Quality Assurance/ Quality Control (QA/QC), guarantees the safety of the N-Viro product. The QA/QC program allowed N-Viro to secure a $5 million product liability insurance policy that covers generators, municipalities, appliers and blenders. N-Viro is the only biosolids treatment process to carry liability insurance.
