Nutri-Pel is produced in an industrial drying process at high temperatures. The nature of the process eliminates pathogens and bacteria common to other forms of biosolids.
The product is routinely tested to ensure a consistently high quality product safe for handling and field application.

Nutri-Pel contains important primary (NPK) and secondary (Calcium, Sulfur, Magnesium) macro-nutrients, as well as many micro-nutrients essential for healthy plant growth.
Our data and experience shows that approximately 60% of the nitrogen releases the first year, 30-35% the second year and the remaining 5-10% the third year.
All the phosphorus is available the first year, as are all the other nutrients in Nutri-Pel.
These rates are dependent on soil temperature and moisture conditions and can fluctuate somewhat.
Copper plays a role in chlorophyll production, is an enzyme catalyst, and aids in disease suppression.
Zinc is essential in early plant growth, for grain and seed formation, and regulates phosphorous uptake.
Molybdenum is involved with nitrogen metabolism and N fixation in legumes (alfafa, soybeans). It also plays a role in ensuring pollen visibility and seed production.
Nickel is a component of a critical plant enzyme (Urease.)
The Ashbridges Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant is located in Toronto, Ontario. It has a drying facility constructed and operated by Veolia North America under a long term partnership with the City of Toronto. This facility is a concrete example of the circular economy philosophy at the core of Veolia’s mission.
The project takes biosolids, previously considered a waste, and transforms it into a beneficial product in an environmentally sustainable manner. The end product, Nutri-Pel, is commercially viable, effective fertilizer that returns nutrients to the soil where they are of most benefit. The facility produces approximately 20,000 tonnes per year of product that is sold to the agricultural community in southern and central Ontario.
