How to handle and process sludge?

Handling or Processing Method Function
Pumping Transport
Preliminary operation (Grinding, screening, degritting, storage) Particle size reduction, removal of fibrous material and grit, sludge homogenization
Thickening Volume reduction
Stabilization Stabilization, mass reduction, resource recovery → Anaerobic digestion: energy recovery
Conditioning Improve dewatering process image
Dewatering Volume reduction
Advanced thermal oxidation Volume and mass reduction, resource recovery
Biosolids application to land Beneficial use and disposal
Conveyance and storage Transport and storage of biosolids
