CEO
Challenges The Bush Administration
N-Viro
International CEO Keynotes WEF/EPA Manure Conference
TOLEDO, Ohio, June 7 /PRNewswire/ --
N-Viro International Corporation (Nasdaq: NVIC) CEO J. Patrick
Nicholson gave the keynote address at today's third annual Water
Environment Federation (WEF)/U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) joint conference on animal manure and biosolids.
Nicholson has been an outspoken
advocate of resource conservation policies and practices and began
lobbying for such policies in 1976. During the past 25 years
Nicholson's firms have marketed millions of tons of fly ash, kiln
dust and organic by-products as valuable construction materials,
structural materials, top soils, aglime and agronomic products. In
October 1991, Nicholson was honored by the President of the United
States, receiving the President's Environment and Conservation
Challenge Award Citation.
"Both the USDA and the
USEPA," Nicholson said, "are well aware of existing
technologies that economically and environmentally treat animal
manures to ensure safe and socially responsible management. These
options include processes, some developed by N-Viro, that are less
than 50 percent of the cost that municipal taxpayers pay for the
treatment of biosolids. By working together, USDA can convert a
serious problem into a magnificent opportunity. All that is required
is leadership from Washington."
Nicholson concluded: "Will the
Bush Administration, the Whitman EPA and the U.S. Congress have the
courage and the wisdom to open the windows and seek the truth? To do
what is right? Will they ask, 'what can I do for my country?'"
This is the second consecutive year
Nicholson has been invited to provide the keynote address. Senator
Tom Harkin, Chairman of the U.S. Senate Agricultural Committee gave
the initial keynote presentation in 1999 in Crystal City, Virginia.
This year's conference June 6-8, 2001, in Chicago, Illinois, is
targeting "Innovative Processes to Produce Useful Materials and
Energy from Biosolids and Animal Manure."

Mr. Javis wants to know about
DE Filters:
Greetings, I used to work for a
company that had a DE filter which was basically a drum which when
charged was coated with DE. When the filter became clogged a knife
which ran the length of the drum, "peeled" off the waste
material, flushing it away.
Does anyone out there know of such a
device or a brand name? I am looking for a filter which can handle
solids removal for recirculating fish farms.
I'm completing a comparative
feasibility study for wastewater treatment of an effluent that is
heavily loaded with COD, and would appreciate some help in some cost
approximations. I'm looking at an anaerobic digestor that is about
180 cubic meters. Additionally, I need an appropriate clarifier to
separate out the biomass, but have no idea where to start sizing.
Help is appreciated.
This week's photo is of a wastewater
treatment plant. Columbian TecTank offers tanks in a
wide range of configurations. These include flat bottoms, cone
bottoms and tanks on structures, each with various piping options.
Our liquid storage tanks are individually engineered for your
specific application.
We would love to have your photo of a water treatment
process, new plant or equipment "action shot" for our home

its best, please e-mail us a jpeg or gif of the photo with a description of what is in the photo for our home
