Sewage Sludge Management

Abstract Sewage sludge produced in municipal sewage treatment plants, because of its physicochemical and sanitary properties, is a serious threat to the environment. In order to neutralize it, various methods of processing are used, which directly affect the quantity and quality of produced sewage sludge, which in the final stage can be used naturally. Properly managed sludge management is presented on the example of a sewage treatment plant, conducting the methane fermentation process with the production of biogas.

Autothermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion

This paper presents the process of autothermal thermophilic aerobic digestion (ATAD). The installations used in municipal sewage treatment plants in Poland were reviewed. The adopted solutions for sludge management and parameters of operating installations were presented. Attention was also drawn to the energy consumption of the process. On the basis of research carried out in the years 2003–2019 in the plants in question, the characteristics of sludge after the ATAD process were presented. The parameters that determine the usefulness of the sludge as an organic fertilizer are indicated above all.

Faecal Sludge

Faecal sludge (FS) samples taken in Hanoi urban area had COD values ranging from 2.83 g/L to 83.83 g/L,TN values from 0.18 g/L to 3.95 g/L, and VS/TS ratio from 47.5 % to 87.7 %. Sewage sludge (SS) samples taken from sewage treatment plants in Hanoi had COD values ranging from 2.22 g/L to 24.97 g/L, TN from 0.16 g/L to 1.24 g/L, VS/TS ratio from 53.5 % to 69.5 %. Bio-methane potential (BMP) tests at mesophilic anaerobic condition (35 oC) provided results of methane production from FS, primary sewage sludge (PSS), waste activated sludge (WAS1 and WAS2) and mixture of primary and secondary sewage sludge at sludge thickener (WAS) as much as 242.3 NmL/gVS, 310.5 NmL/gVS, 294 NmL/gVS, 228.2 NmL/gVS and 282.3 NmL/gVS, respectively. Co-digestion of FS and WAS at different mixing ratios provided from 269.3 NmL to 294.8 NmL CH4 per gram of fed substrate VS. The values of methane yield have shown promising sludge-to-energy option with FS-SS co-digestion. FS-SS co-digestion in anaerobic digesters built at municipal sewage treatment plants which are often working under capacity provides chance to combat with FS and SS challenges, utilizing infrastructure facilities efficiently.

Dimethyl Phenol

A total of 25 municipal sewage treatment plants were sampled, 10 of which were resampled, to determine the quantity of phenolics in the sewage, final effluent and the anaerobically digested sludge using capillary GC/MS/DS/techniques. The study noted in decreasing order of frequency in raw sewage: phenol, pentachloro-phenol, dimethyl phenol, 3-methyl, 4-chlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichloro-phenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2-nitrophenol, 2-chlorophenol, 2,4-dinitro-6-methylphenol and 2,4-dinitrophenol. The maximum concentration of phenol in sewage and sludge was 2800 ppb and 4460 respectively, while similar values for pentachlorophenol were 58 and 1200 ppb. Statistically calculated concentration reductions for phenol and dimethyl phenol were generally greater than noted for tri- and pentachlorophenol. Low decreases or increases were noted for monochlorophenol and especially for dichlorophenol as a result of the chloronation of the final effluent.

First an overview of the systems currently in use and being discussed for sludge treatment is presented will) particular emphasis on distinguishing between the object of the system (conditioning objective of the various phases in the system) and a system concept (concept of various phases of the system in sequence to attain the disposal objective). More detailed information is given as to the salient systems as used with smaller sewage treatment plants in rural areas, such as digestion, dewatering, hygienization, composting and thermal drying. A further item of discussion is how sludge treatment influences the sewage treatment process. For the critical emissions (nitrogen, phosphorus) demanded in Germany, and thus for the degree of sewage treatment required, the load of the sewage treatment system resulting from sludge treatment needs to be taken into account. Accordingly, operation of sludge treatment and sewage purification must always be harmonized. The extent of these return loads also limits the spatial centralization of the system phases; this applies in particular to smaller sewage treatment plants in rural areas. In conclusion, an attempt is made to present a perspective for the agricultural utilization of such sludge in Germany. Since the critical values for emissions have been further tightened by new regulations, thus considerably elevating the associated sophistication of monitoring techniques, it is to be expected that the use of sewage sludge in agriculture will also be further reduced in rural areas, especially since public awareness of emission control has considerably reduced the acceptance of sewage sludge as fertilizer.

Limiting Factor

To reuse municipal sewage sludge safely, experiment was carried out on grapefruit trees fertilized with composted sludge from Shiweitou Sewage Treatment Plant in Xiamen City of China, and a method was introduced of how to assess the environmental quality of grapefruit trees soil fertilized with sludge by Set Pair Analysis (SPA) model. The results showed that the soil in the surface layer (0-15cm) and the deeper layer (15-30cm) was less clean, and the environment of soil was not polluted. Thus it was feasible to use sludge as fruit fertilizer. The maximum service life of sludge for continuous land application was estimated by taking Cd as the limiting factor, which would provide scientific guide and technical support for safe land application of sludge.
