The Town

Recycling of sewage sludge will soon no longer be possible in The Netherlands, or will be possible only to a very limited degree. For that reason, part of the sewage sludge will have to be incinerated. This will happen particularly in those areas where tipping space is very limited. A sludge incineration plant is planned to be built in the town of Dordrecht, with a capacity of 45,000 tonnes dry solids per year. The plant will be subject to the very strict flue gas emission requirements of the Dutch Guideline on Incineration. The Guideline demands a sophisticated flue gas purification procedure.

The Impact

Several aspects of using ashes from sewage sludge incineration in the brick and tile industry have been examined. After discussing the item of ash production in Germany, the impact of different wastewater treatment methods is described; for instance, the use of precipitation agents containing iron will considerably influence the ash quality. Depending on their respective chemical composition, different ashes have different effects on the ceramic qualities of the bricks made of clay blended with ashes. These effects will be shown in regard to the major ceramic parameters. Similarly, the quality of the ashes also influences the elution behaviour and the mineral fixation of heavy metals.

Conservative engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) that resist transformation during wastewater treatment and sludge incineration can be released from sewage sludge ash. Transient ENPs that undergo transformation are retained in the sewage sludge ash.

Abstract In quantitative terms, sludge produced in the process of municipal wastewater treatment represents a small part of the total waste generated in municipal sources - its quantity represents only a few percent of the generated mass of municipal waste. However, the threats it brings, do not allow it to be neglected while designing the wastewater treatment process. At the same time, with increasing requirements regarding the quality of sewage discharged into the environment, there is an increase in the amount of sludge produced in wastewater treatment processes. In recent years, the share of thermal treatment of municipal sewage sludge has risen sharply - about 12 modern sludge incineration plants have been built and construction of new ones is considered. During more than a four-year operation of the sewage sludge incineration plant in the Combined Sewage Treatment Plant in Lodz (GOS) a large ammonia emission from the combustion process was observed. So, a decision was taken to examine this process. The paper presents results of ammonia emission from the combustion of sewage sludge from GOS as a function of temperature.

Operation Parameters

The fluidized bed sewage sludge incineration plant of the city of Hamburg started its operation in May, 1997. An acid scrubber was designed as the main sink of mercury. A first modification of the mercury removal concept was presented on the 16th Fluidized Bed Combustion Conference in 2001 [1]. Mercury compounds are now dissolved in the acid scrubber and precipitated with a solution of sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate. In the year 2002 the operation of the acid scrubber has been investigated to optimize the scrubber performance. Suspension pH, amount of precipitant and density of the scrubber suspension were varied to find the optimum operation parameters for the capture of mercury at minimum cost. It was found that with an increase of the density of the scrubber suspension the mercury removal efficiency was enhanced such that the dosage of the precipitant could be decreased significantly. After this optimization process the pollutant streams into the environment were minimized. The paper presents the influence of the scrubber operation parameters on the mercury capture using continuous mercury measurements in the flue gas upstream and downstream of the scrubber. The results of this investigation led to both a minimization of the pollutant streams into the atmosphere and a reduction of the operation cost.
