Various waterworks sludges are produced as the result of water treatment: from the treatment of groundwaters by oxidation and filtration, from the softening of hard waters, and from the treatment of surface waters by slow sand filtration or by coagulation. Thickening and dewatering of these sludges give rise to waste liquors of varying qualities and quantities. The treatment and disposal of such sludges and waste liquors is a major concern of the water industry. Of value to engineers, scientists, operators and all those involved in waterworks sludge treatment and disposal, this application guide covers all aspects of treatment and disposal and updates WRc Technical Report TR189, Sludge Treatment Plant for Waterworks. Guidance is given on best practice, enabling efficient and cost-effective treatment and disposal of waterworks sludge to meet environmental and legislative requirements. The guide includes revised design procedures for sludge treatment plant, reviews legislative and environmental requirements, and reviews topics of particular relevance to waterworks sludge treatment and disposal.
