Feb 2, 2018 · The objective of this study was to examine the feasibility of sewage sludge composting using a simple aeration method. Two consecutive composting trials (run A and run B) using Japanese sludge and woodchips (1:1, v/v) were conducted in cubic boxes (0.45 × 0.45 × 0.45 m3) made by plywood at Okayama University. Air was forced up through small holes perforated on two open-ended parallel PVC
Dec 4, 2020 · Sewage sludge is the largest by-product of used water treatment. Its production is dependent upon influent characteristics and the processes applied. It is composed of a complex, heterogeneous mixture of microorganisms and readily biodegradable organic and inorganic materials. Sludge treatment is a highly complex, expensive, and environmentally
May 20, 2022 · The examination of sewage sludge produced from wastewater treatment plants considering different employed presented that the energy savings for managing sewage sludge for biogas production than producing compost are estimated at 27060 MJ/t of input (SS). Simultaneously, the avoided carbon dioxide emissions are 697 kg/t of digested sludge.
Therefore, industrial-scale sewage sludge composting was shown to be an effective tool for the elimination of indicator strains of fecal contamination resistant to certain antibiotics in routine use. Thus, it contributed to the reduction of the spread of ARGs in environmental microbiomes, as well as the transfer of the same in the food chain.
Jan 1, 2014 · One of the promising of sewage sludge treatment, considering its maximum sludge reduction and short processing time, is incineration. However, the usage of sewage sludge as fuel in incinerator is hindered by its high water content and high nitrogen content. A hydrothermal process for producing solid fuel from sewage sludge is developed
Aug 30, 2023 · Abstract. Composting is an interesting option to recycle big quantities of organic waste because it helps to mitigate different environmental problems. Complementary characteristics of rice straw (RS) and sewage sludge (SS) create a suitable mixture to be used in a composting process.
Aug 17, 2021 · Municipal solid waste and sewage sludge are produced in large quantities that are often managed through industrial composting treatment. Because of their origin, composition, and complexity, ensuring adequate stabilization of the organic matter, and sanitation of fecal contaminants during composting is of the utmost significance, and difficult
Oct 1, 2022 · Sludge from industrial wastewater treatment plant can be valorised by chemical and biological process. •. The waste produce in resin industries can be seen as a resource for other industries. •. Resin industries can recover energy by sludge anaerobic digestion. •. Industrial wastewater can be treated with wastes.
Jul 1, 2017 · 1. Introduction. Due to the high volume of sewage sludge currently generated worldwide (8.9 million tons of dry solid matter in 2010 according to Eurostat, 2015), as well as its high concentration in heavy metals (especially cadmium), organic micropollutants and pathogens, this waste must be properly managed to prevent environmental problems and risks for human health (Hendrickx et al., 2009).
Apr 19, 2021 · Hydrogen production was increased from 9.1% to 11.94% with an increase in industrial wastewater sludge ratios from 0% to 60%. The produced gas heating value ranged from 4.84 MJ/Nm 3 to 5.11 MJ/Nm 3 , which was coupled with the cold gas efficiency (CGE) ranging from 33.91% to 36.15%.
Feb 1, 2008 · composting process of municipal s olid wastes a nd sewage sludge in a semi-industrial composting plant. Results showed that the dehydrogenase activity and Biomass C / Biomass N ratio showed a
Nov 1, 2020 · (2) Treatment capacities of sludge facilities exhibited a significant increase in 2009–2019, especially 2011–2015 for sludge compost, 2014–2019 for anaerobic digestion, 2005–2010 for incineration, and 2013–2016 for sludge deep-dewatering and thermal hydrolysis.
Jan 1, 2023 · The treatment and disposal of sewage sludges is an issue of high concern, given the role of sewage sludge in environmental pollution, risks to human health and high cost of its disposal. Under current legislation, sludge can be disposed of in agriculture after a stabilization process, such as composting. As a result of this process, organic
Dec 4, 2023 · One of the most widely used for sludge treatment. Sludge is held in the absence of air for 15 to 60 days at temperatures of 68 to 131°F. Anaerobic bacteria feed on the sludge, producing methane and carbon dioxide. In some treatment plants, the methane is collected and burned to maintain the treatment temperature.
