| Abstract |
The most promising wet system alternative uses individual household grinders in low density areas, vacuum collection and neighborhood grinders in high density areas, dilute slurry transport of ground refuse in the existing sanitary sewer system, and joint treatment of refuse and sewage at an expanded treatment facility that includes anaerobic digestion for methane generation. However, the economic feasibility of even the most promising alternative is doubtful because of the high cost of grinding, and hydraulic transport of ground refuse in existing sewer systems may be feasible only if both metals and glass are excluded.
