The processing of wastewater sludge for use or disposal has been a continuing challenge for municipal agencies. Yet, when sludge is properly processed, the resulting nutrient-rich product-biosolids can be a valuable resource for agriculture and other uses. This book brings together a wide body of knowledge from the field to examine how to effectively process sludge to reap its benefits, yet protect public health. This book discusses unit operations used for processing sludge and the available methods for final disposition of the processed product.

Topics discussed include
  • Sludge quantities and characteristics
  • Thickening and dewatering
  • Aerobic and anaerobic digestion
  • Alkaline stabilization
  • Composting
  • Thermal drying and incineration
  • Energy consumption
  • The beneficial use of biosolids.

This book:
  • Describes new and emerging technologies as well as international methods
  • Compares different types of sludge processing methods
  • Explains both municipal and industrial treatment technologies
Written by authors with decades of experience in the field, Wastewater Sludge Processing is an invaluable tool for anyone planning, designing, and implementing municipal wastewater sludge management projects.
