Abstract |
A sludge disposal process consisting of modified sand drying beds in combination with the freeze-thaw technique utilizing natural refrigeration was evaluated. The purpose of freeze-thawing of sewage sludge is principally to condition the sludge such that it is readily dewaterable and, subsequently, results in a reduced volume of solids to be further processed. The study consisted of three separate evaluations using three model drying beds for each respective run. Two of the beds were studied at sludge depths of six inches, and the third bed was evaluated at an eighteen-inch sludge depth. Settled activated sludge for placement on the model beds was obtained from the sedimentation tank of a local activated sludge plant. |
