Effect of the addition of rice straw on microbial community in a sewage sludge digester
Rice straw was added to a sewage sludge digester and its effects on methane production, dewatering characteristics, and microbial communities in the digested sludge were examined by a continuous digestion experiment under mesophilic conditions (35 °C). Stable gas generation was monitored in all digestion experiments. Methane yield from raw sludge, chopped rice straw and softened rice ...

Dublin - Ringsend - Case Study
Client: Celtic Anglian Water Solution: CambiTHP - B12 Ringsend The WWTP at Ringsend Dublin was originally operating a two train drum drying systems for drying the raw primary sludge to meet the requirements of pasteurisation in Ireland. The plant was extended by the addition of SBR biological treatment reactors to the existing primary treatment plant. Therefore the quantity of sludge was ...

Land application of sewage sludge (biosolids) in Australia: risks to the environment and food crops
Australia is a large exporter of agricultural products, with producers responsible for a range of quality assurance programs to ensure that food crops are free from various contaminants of detriment to human health. Large volumes of treated sewage sludge (biosolids), although low by world standards, are increasingly being recycled to land, primarily to replace plant nutrients and to improve soil ...

4-Step Wastewater Sludge Treatment Process
What is in sewage sludge? Sewage sludge is a byproduct of treated wastewater. It is composed of both organic and inorganic materials, a large concentration of plant nutrients, organic chemicals, as well as pathogens. Therefore, it is extremely important to properly treat such sludge in order to minimize its environmental repercussions. Here is a brief overview of the sludge treatment process to ...

Status Quo and Development Trend of Sludge Treatment
Mud Nature Sludge, as a by-product of sewage treatment, enriches sewage pollutants (heavy metals, refractory organics, persistent organics, microplastics, etc.) and nutrients (C, N, P, etc.), the source has the dual attributes of "resource" and "pollution". The rich organic matter contained in the sludge can be absorbed by anaerobic Fuels with high calorific value such as methane biogas (biogas) ...

New processes for the improvement of sludge digestion and sludge dewatering
INTRODUCTIONThe examination of numerous sewage sludges from municipal wastewater treatment plants leads to the conclusion that on the one hand dewaterability of these sludges worsens and that on the other hand dewaterability of sludges becomes more and more important due to increasing disposal costs. Especially wastewater treatment plants with inflows from the food processing industry often face ...

How do Wastewater Treatment Plants Transform in the Era of Carbon Neutrality?
In November 2019, the Danish government signed a "Danish climate partnership" with 13 business representatives, which basically covers the greenhouse gas emissions of all industries in Denmark. The members of the Climate Partnership need to provide emission reduction recommendations in their respective fields to help the Danish government realize its 2030 commitment-that is, Denmark’s ...

Pollutants in Urban Wastewater and Sewage Sludge
Untitled Document Executive Summary Water policy in the European Union is aiming to promote sustainable water use and a major objective of the new Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) is the long-term progressive reduction of contaminant discharges to the aquatic environment in urban wastewater (UWW). Sewage sludge is also a product of wastewater treatment and the Urban Waste ...
