Sewage Sludge Treatment - What Utility Companies Do To Get Rid Of Huge Amounts of the Sludge Collected During Sewage Treatment

Sewage sludge treatment describes the processes used to manage and dispose of sewage sludge produced during sewage treatment.

Sludge is mostly water with lesser amounts of solid material removed from liquid sewage. Primary sludge includes settle-able solids removed during primary treatment in primary clarifiers.

Secondary sludge separated in secondary clarifiers includes treated sewage sludge from secondary treatment bioreactors.

Sludge treatment is focused on reducing sludge weight and volume to reduce disposal costs, and on reducing potential health risks of disposal options.

Water removal is the primary means of weight and volume reduction, while pathogen destruction is frequently accomplished through heating during thermophilic digestion, composting, or incineration.

We have also written an article on how the UK leads the way globally in sludge digestion technology. And in particular, how one advanced sludge AD Plant in Scotland has been further improved through a retrofit of the Landia GasMix tank mixing system.
