DEVELOPMENT PLANS
Building toward the next
generation of biosolids treatment.
AMS is developing a path toward Class AA treatment and broader beneficial reuse. The planning focus includes upgrading treatment infrastructure and evaluating a liquid Class AA process that can accommodate liquid and cake feedstocks.
Current status: Class AA is a development initiative, subject to engineering, permitting and implementation. Current treatment services remain Class B.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Let’s get the
details right.
Do you haul liquid biosolids and cake?+
Yes. AMS coordinates liquid tanker hauling and transport of dewatered biosolids cake. We’ll confirm material characteristics, loading conditions, expected volume and the receiving destination before scheduling service.
What should we provide for a service quote?+
Start with your facility location, material type, solids percentage if known, estimated wet tons or gallons, pickup frequency and loading arrangements. Existing analyses or material profiles help our team review acceptance and service options.
Can you help during planned maintenance or an outage?+
Contact AMS to discuss temporary hauling or additional service needs. Availability depends on the material, equipment, receiving arrangements and schedule. For a time-sensitive requirement, call (941) 776-8706.
Are Class AA products available now?+
Class AA treatment is in development. AMS’s current treatment operation uses Class B lime stabilization. Contact our team to discuss current services or the status of future treatment plans.
Can my farm or ranch participate?+
We welcome discussions with Florida agricultural landowners. We’ll review location, land use, site conditions, nutrient needs and applicable approvals before determining whether a partnership is suitable.
