| Abstract |
Tests were conducted to obtain the physical characteristics of sludge obtained from Nassau County's Bay Park sewage treatment plant, Long Island, New York. The settling characteristics of the sludge in seawater were determined by modified pipette analysis as a function of suspended solids concentration, salinity, and depth of settling. The sludge was subjected to tests to determine its thickening capability. The bulk specific gravity of the sludge was determined. The specific gravity of the liquid phase was constant at 1.000 g/cc. For different samples the precentage solids by weight varied from .8 to 2.2%. The specific gravity of the solids varied from 1.53 to 1.62 g/cc with corresponding volatile solids from 70.3 to 61.4%. The maximum solids concentration obtainable in laboratory tests was 5.5%. |
