More biogas, less sludge
Germany has more than 10,000 sewage plants, using costly processes to treat household, industrial and restaurant waste water. The treated water is discharged back into river and lake systems. What remains is an organic / inorganic mixture of sludge. The issue is how to dispose of this residue. Up to now, sewage sludge has been used as an... view more... (2002-11-14)
