Bio-oil production from sewage sludge provides a potential sludge treatment alternative, which shows advantages in both sludge treatment and energy recovery. The related technologies to convert sludge into high quality fuel or synthesized bio-diesel have been widely studied recently. In this paper, major effective technologies of low temperature pyrolysis, direct thermochemical liquefaction, microwave pyrolysis and transesterification had been reviewed. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of these methods are discussed in detail.

The Enersludge™ process converts sewage sludge, biomass and other carbonaceous materials to re-usable fuels. Currently the low grade fuels namely char, reaction water and non-condensed gas are used to drive the process with the oil being classified as surplus fuel. Consequently oil quality is of paramount importance with regard to marketability of the Enersludge™ process. The new process comprises a single reactor followed by a catalyst cartridge to refine oil vapours. Oil quality can be controlled by type of catalyst, temperature and WHSV. Oil viscosity was used as a global oil quality indicator to benchmark the enhanced Enersludge™ process against its reactor predecessors. Oil viscosities as low as 3 cSt can be achieved which is equivalent to a tenfold reductioncompared to previous reactor designs. At the same time energy recovery in the oil has only dropped slightly.
