TP – 1170 An Introduction to Wastewater Treatment Sludge Management for Professional Engineers

Description

The treatment of wastewater creates sludge. This sludge contains organic material, inorganic material, and various types of bacteria, which when mixed are called solids. All this material is usually treated at the same location as the wastewater treatment plant. To aid, in the storage, transportation, and method of disposal wastewater treatment plants thicken, reduce the amount, and dewater the solids prior to being removed from the wastewater treatment plant.
