What do Biosolids look like?

Before drying, biosolids look like a dark mud, rich in organic matter and some may have a plasticine texture. After drying, they are soil-like in appearance, much like garden mulch or potting mix. In some cases, the dried biosolids are made into pellets and look similar to some commercially fertilisers.

Dewatered cake — the kind of biosolids product King County produces — is 21 to 25% solid matter. It looks like grey-black damp mud, somewhat crumbly but also packable and sometimes “shiny” in places (due to struvite, a mineral). When dried, biosolids look like fine-textured dark soil.
