Product Description
Reap the benefits of sludge The processing of wastewater sludge for use or disposal has been a continuing challenge for municipal agencies. Yet, whensludge is properly processed, the resulting nutrient-rich product--biosolids--can be a valuable resource for agriculture and other uses. Wastewater Sludge Processing 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. Presented in a format useful as both a reference for practicing environmental engineers and a textbook for graduatestudents, 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, aerobicand anaerobic digestion, alkaline stabilization, composting, thermal drying and incineration, energy consumption, and the beneficial use of biosolids. COMPREHENSIVE IN ITS COVERAGE, THE TEXT: * 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. |

Sludge processing by Makarand Patankar (India)  4 Stars
September 11, 2009
The book has covered quite well the different processes and techniques which can be used for sludge treatment. It is quite informative and cover the latest techniques which can be used. These can also help the operator as well as the manager to understand if the processes followed by them for sludge processing are technically correct or not.
A good addition to a reference library.

all the dirty details by W Boudville (Terra, Sol 3) 4 Stars
February 27, 2008
Sludge essentially means the stuff from your toilet bowl. The authors explain how in a modern industrialised society, it is treated. The science [mostly chemistry] is given for the reactions that passivate the toxic parts. Along with the chemical engineering of the design of the processes and the treatment plants.
It's not just fluids that are dealt with, of course. During the processes, dry solids emerge, and these have to be handled properly. Another key issue is dewatering. The removal of as much water as possible from the sludge. Where the water might be filtered through various types of gravel and sand beds.
Finally, it is shown how the residual sludge has value as compost for farming. As little is wasted as possible.
