On December 18, 1991, the City of Baltimore contracted with Wheelabrator Clean Water Systems Inc. (WCWS) (formerly Bio Gro Systems Inc.) for the construction and operation of a 54.8 dry tons per day (dtpd) biosolids dryer/pelletizer facility. The plant has been constructed at the Back River Wastewater Treatment Plant (BRWWTP) in Essex, Maryland and is in the first year of a 20-year operating contract. The facility is the largest indirect biosolids dryer facility in the world and the first of its type in North America. This paper discusses the development of the project and several of the key start-up issues that resulted in successful commercial operation by the end of 1994. Also, some process equipment difficulties that were experienced during start-up and resulting system modifications are reviewed.
