Dewaterability of thermal conditioned sewage sludge after anaerobic stabilization
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 6
Abstract
Thermal pretreatment of sewage sludge influences the improvement of biochemical decomposition of sludge in the anaerobic stabilization process. At the same time the ratio of fermentation impacts on the effectiveness of sludge dewatering. The aim of investigation was the evaluation of thermal conditioned excess sludge dewaterability after anaerobic stabilization process. In the tests excess and digested (10%) sludge from municipal wastewater treatment plant was used. Experiments were carried out in the laboratory flasks filled with the tested sludge and located in the laboratory incubator. Unconditioned and conditioned sludge in temperature of 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90°C was stabilised during 10 days. In each day of the process the capillary suction time (CST), thickening degree and dry matter content were determinated. Thermal conditioning of excess sludge influenced the increase of CST values. For sludge after mesophilic anaerobic stabilization in the successive days of the process, the decrease of CST values, dry matter content and thickening degree were noticed.<br/><br/>
