Jan 14, 2021 · 28 Citations. Metrics. In present study, the effects of carbon sources on compost process and quality were evaluated in the lab-scale sewage sludge (SS) composting. The composting experiments were
3) Economic analysis of composting This chapter takes a wastewater treatment plant in Inner Mongolia as an example. The designed capacity of the composting plant for dewatered sludge is 150 t/day with a moisture content of 60%. This means that the plant can process 54,000 t of dewatered sludge per year.
2.1 Objectives and scope. To compare the carbon emissions of two sludge composting technologies, this study took 1 ton of excess sludge (80% water content) from a wastewater treatment plant as the research object. The two sludge composting technologies investigated were aerobic composting and vermicomposting.
Dec 15, 2022 · Composting is one of the ways to return sewage sludge nutrients to the soil and thus keep them in the economic cycle. This well-known technique is still being developed in search of more advanced, optimal solutions. This study presents the results of an environmental and economic analysis of the sludge treatment processes used in a municipal wastewater treatment plant. The sludge (up to 4700
Nov 16, 2016 · Compost with nutrient-rich organic matter can be produced from renewable biomass materials such as municipal sewage sludge, landscaping waste and others. In this study, co-composting of municipal sewage sludge and landscaping waste as a soil amendment using 10 m3 pilot scale bioreactor system was tested. The temperature, oxygen level, moisture content and pH were monitored throughout the
Jan 1, 2023 · The treatment and disposal of sewage sludges is an issue of high concern, given the role of sewage sludge in environmental pollution, risks to human health and high cost of its disposal. Under current legislation, sludge can be disposed of in agriculture after a stabilization process, such as composting. As a result of this process, organic
Apr 6, 2024 · It is desirable to recycle sewage sludge as fertilizer for agricultural fields. The application of sludge to agricultural soils is a measure that replaces chemical fertilizers and plays an important role in improving soil’s physicochemical and biological properties. However, there are concerns that the pollutants in sewage sludge will cause negative impacts on soil health. To closely monitor
