Factors affecting the mechanical deep dewatering of sludge from wastewater treatment

Feasibility study of green wastes composting with digested and dewatering sludge from municipal wastewater treatment plant in Iran

Background: Composting as a waste management technology is becoming more widespread. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and to find the most effective composting process for the ratio of green waste, digested and dewatered sludge from Chonibieh wastewater treatment plant in the west region of Ahvaz. Methods: The composting time was 23 days and the evaluated parameters in th...

Sludge Dewatering and Mineralization in Sludge Treatment Reed Beds

Sludge Treatment Reed Beds (STRBs) are widely used in Northern Europe to dewater and mineralize surplus sludge from activated sludge systems used to treat urban domestic sewage. STRBs are low-technology, energy-efficient, and do not require addition of chemicals. They dewater and stabilize the sludge and produce a final product that can be safely used as a fertilizer for agricultural crops. Lon...

Optimization of factors affecting the application of Fenton process in sofa and detergent wastewater treatment

Introduction: Most commercial surfactants used for cleaning (as detergents (are part of xezenbiotic compounds. These compounds and products due to its toxic effects on aquatic organisms may interfere with hormonal system and consequently change the echo system. Since the biodegradation of those compounds are weak, ordinary methods are unable to break down conventional purification. Therefore, t...

Sludge Dewatering by Impulse Drying

An innovative and energy efficient sludge dewatering technology has been developed. The technology, impulse drying, involves briefly contacting the sludge under pressure with a heated surface. A unique feature of impulse drying is that the majority of moisture removal occurs as lipid water. A pilotand laboratory-scale demonstration was performed on low ash primary paper mill sludge. The pilot-s...
