Title Black soldier fly (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) reduction of different sludges, subsequent safety, and research gaps
Year 2024
Published
Abstract One of the many waste components that end up in landfills is sludge, an organic waste that Black Soldier Flies (BSF) may be capable of reducing or removing along with potential pathogens from the environment. Throughout this review, knowledge gaps were evaluated as well as indications that BSF can positively impact the environment and economy when it comes to reducing sludge. This review first aimed to establish consistency across assessed papers (n = 41). Second, previous research on the efficiency and capability of sludge to be reduced by BSF both in isolation and with other substrates (co-digestion) was assessed. Subsequently, this review also evaluated the resulting safety of both the BSF and remaining sludge after consumption. Through this review, reduction difficulties and gaps in research and industry were evaluated. Unfortunately, complications come from the lack of policy for industry status as well as the need for further research. Therefore, further research is required on the consumption of different sludges. In particular, sludge should be tested with co-substrates to decrease waste removal problems. Sludge lacks crucial nutrients and contains extracellular polymeric substances preventing BSFL consumption. This review could potentially be helpful in future research to formulate a methodology for better BSFL consumption and production of insect biomass by sludge pre-treatment. This could lead to the implementation of the new policy in sludge management.
