Abstract
Wastewater treatment plants are designed to remove pollutants from the wastewater. The suspended solids that are separated and removed from the main wastewater stream result In a solids phase (sludge) that required separate treatment and disposal. The sludge volume generally represents about 2 percent of the total wastewater volume. However, the equipment and operating and maintenance costs attributable to sludge handling may represent as much as 50 percent of the total wastewater treatment costs.
