Abstract:
To assess microbial safety of treated sewage sludge (biosolids), we examined the inactivation of microbial indicators for potential bacterial, viral and protozoan pathogens. The levels of indicators were determined throughout the air-drying and storage phases of anaerobically digested sewage sludge. Samples were collected from two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Victoria, Australia. Established methods were applied for analysis of bacteria and coliphages, based on membrane filtration and layered plates, respectively. In the pan drying phase, the prevalence of Escherichia coli was reduced by >5 log10 compared with sludge entering the pan. Thus, after pan drying of 8-11 months at WWTP A and 15 months at WWTP B, the numbers of E. coli were reduced to below 102 cfu/g dry solids (DS). This level is acceptable for unrestricted use in agriculture in Australia (P1 treatment grade), the UK (enhanced treatment status) and the USA (Class A pathogen reduction). Coliphage numbers also decreased substantially during the air-drying phase, indicating that enteric viruses are also likely to be destroyed during this phase. Clostridium perfringens appeared to be an overly conservative indicator. Survival, but not regrowth, of E. coli or Salmonella was observed in rewetted biosolids (15–20% moisture content), after being seeded with these species, indicating a degree of safety of stored biosolids upon rewetting by rain.

Abstract:
Abstract The inactivation of Cryptosporidium species oocysts during sewage sludge treatment is important to protect human health when the residual biosolids are applied to agricultural land. Quantifying the decay of Cryptosporidium species during sludge treatment for microbiological assurance purposes is difficult if low numbers are present in wastewater. The rate of decay of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts during solar/air drying treatment and in sludge stockpiles in temperate environment conditions was simulated in laboratory inoculation experiments using sludge sampled from a mesophilic anaerobic digester. Oocyst numbers were also determined in settled lagoon sludge samples collected from three operational rural wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). C. parvum oocysts were enumerated by immunomagnetic separation followed by staining with vital dyes and examination by confocal laser scanning microscopy. An air-drying/storage period equivalent to 11 weeks was required for a 1 log10 reduction of viable oocysts inoculated into digested sludge. Oocyst viability in air-dried and stored digested sludge decreased with time, but was independent of sludge desiccation and dry solids (DS) content. No oocysts were detected in sludge samples collected from the anaerobic digester, and the average concentration of oocysts found in settled lagoon sludge from the rural WWTP was 4.6 × 102 oocysts/g DS.

Abstract:
Valorization of digested sewage sludge generated in a medium-sized sewage treatment plant and the effect of valorization on energy consumption during sludge drying used for energy recovery are presented. Anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge reduces dry matter content compared to raw sludge. This lowers its calorific value leading to the lower interest of consumers in using it as fuel. The aim of the study was to valorize digested sewage sludge prior to drying with high-energy waste with low moisture content. The procedure led to the reduction in moisture content by about 50% in the substrate supplied for solidification and drying. The calorific value of digested sewage sludge increased by 50–80%, and the energy consumption of the drying process decreased by about 50%. Physical and chemical properties of sewage sludge and moisture content of substrates and mixtures after valorization were determined. The heat of combustion of valorized sewage sludge mixtures, their elemental composition, and ash content is investigated. Their calorific value in the analytical and working states of 10% H2O was calculated. The highest calorific value was obtained for the mixture of sewage sludge valorized with waste plastics or combined with wood dust, averaging 23 MJ/kg. A mathematical approximation of sewage sludge valorization is presented.

Abstract:
Sewage sludge from wastewater treatment is being more and more produced in many countries. For sewage sludge disposal, drying operation is usually required and greatly energy-consuming. Paddle dryers, one kind of indirect dryers, are widely used in removing moisture of sewage sludge recently, but the design, to some extent, still depends on empirical and limited data. In this paper, we presented preliminary experimental results of sewage sludge drying based on a 3 m2paddle dryer prototype. The effects of thermal oil inlet temperature on outlet moisture content and mass flowrate of initial sludge are recorded and analyzed. A simple monotonic relation between mass flowrate of initial sludge and thermal oil inlet temperature does not exist. Besides, we performed the drying experiment of adding low-value biomass (rice husk) into wet sewage sludge. The results show that the drying performance is improved significantly.

Abstract:
The integration of a sewage sludge drying facility into landfill operation leads to a large number of synergistic effects. Two of these modules are examined more closely in this paper. If the thermal and electric energy produced in landfill operation are used for sewage sludge drying, the drying costs will be able to be reduced and the existing resources will be used in an ecologically acceptable way throughout the year. The joint treatment of the vent condensates resulting from sewage sludge drying and of landfill leachate suggests itself because both wastewaters show a similar composition. Tests carried out for this purpose have revealed that the efficiencies achieved especially in joint biological treatment are very high due to the good biodegradability of the vent condensates. Negative effects from the joint treatment of vent condensates on other procedures examined were not observed. With the help of comprehensive interlinked systems sewage sludge drying can even be realized in rural areas. This contributes to higher safety in sewage sludge disposal under economic, ecological and future-oriented aspects.

Abstract:
Using cement kiln dispose sludge from sewage plants can achieve the sludge stabilization, harmless, reduction and resource comprehensive utilization purposes. This is Not only to solve the problem of sludge treatment which is difficult to solve by sewage treatment plant, but also to make full use of the sewage treatment plant sludge to replace part of cement clinker production materials. And it makes full use of sludge incineration emitted in the process of low calorific value. Municipal sludge contains more moisture. It is necessary to dry the sludge outside the kiln before entering kiln process. As cement kiln co-processing, it should be combined with the characteristics of NSP clinker production, it is necessary to not only consider the total energy consumption of the drying process, but also the re-use of dried sludge heat value, as well as consider the total of water into the kiln by drying sludge affecting the whole clinker production process. In this paper, with the initial solid content 20%, dry heating value 3400 cal/g sludge as a research object, the moisture morphology, thermal characteristics, drying technological parameters and composition of water after drying in sludge were analysed. This issue combines sludge drying with cement kiln disposal, which can not only solve the heat and odor problem during the individual sludge drying process, but also provide a theoretical basis for cement kilns co-disposal of municipal sewage sludge to achieve the purposes of sludge stabilization, harmless, minimization and resource utilization.

Abstract:
Drying of the sewage sludge layer was investigated in a convective laboratory dryer at air temperatures of 65 °C and 80 °C and air speeds of 0.53 m/s and 0.83 m/s. The sludge layer was formed by loading cylindrical extrudates on a grate of 0.5 m × 0.5 m size. The drying air was directed through the layer, as typically encountered in industrial belt dryers. Under such setup, the sludge layer structure and porosity significantly affect the air flow conditions and thus the drying rates. Shrinkage and cracking of the material during drying caused changes in the layer’s porous structure, that affected the pressure drop and the drag force due to passing of air through the layer. The decreasing of drag force over time was modeled by a simple function that showed excellent agreement to the selected measured data. The sludge layer drying kinetics was determined by fitting the measured data to the most common drying models. Two models, the modified Nadhari and the Wang Singh model, were determined as most suitable for modeling of drying curves. The total drying time per kilogram of sludge was modeled as a function of drying air temperature, drying air velocity and initial sludge dry matter content. The coefficient of determination (R2) of the model is 0.944. Total drying times between 43 minutes per kilogram and 76 minutes per kilogram of sludge were obtained for the investigated range of drying air conditions.

Mestrado em Sistemas Energéticos Sustentáveis
A brief review of the paper pulp production process in order to understand the origin of the sewage sludge was performed. Then a general revision of the current treatment options for this type of waste was addressed. The thermal treatment by combustion was focused and a review of the state of the art of this process was performed. The high moisture content of sludge was identified as a major concern. Thus a revision of the state of the art regarding thermal drying of sewage sludge was performed. The drying behavior of sewage sludge from the pulp and paper industry was evaluated by experiment in a drying tunnel. Strong shrinkage, cracks and a weak crust phenomenon were identified. A drying kinetic model was developed by the use of Artificial Neural Networks achieving a high Pearson correlation coefficient in the validation tests. Additionally a theoretical assessment of the co-combustion process was performed having into account a 50 MWth combustion facility. The inclusion of different portions of sewage sludge in a fuel mixture and the influence of the sludge moisture content was studied. It was found that burning sewage sludge with more than 50 wt% moisture content is not possible. Furthermore the inclusion of sewage sludge in a biomass fuel mixture causes an increase in the fuel consumption, solids production and heat losses in the flue gas. Based on general thermodynamic considerations the thermal power of a sludge dryer was calculated. The use of waste heat to supply the energy needs of the drying process was addressed by the waste heat availability estimation as sensible heat and latent heat at the stack of the facility. A set of combustion experiments were done in a pilot scale bubbling fluidized bed combustor to assess the combustion efficiency by monitoring the CO2, CO, H2O and O2 levels in conjunction with the temperature profile along the reactor height. Two different types of fuel samples were prepared. One composed by 100 wt% sewage sludge (fuel sample 1) and other composed by 50 wt% sewage sludge and 50 wt% residual forest biomass (particle size <1mm) (fuel sample 2). Low CO levels were onserved especially for the fuel sample 2 which indicates a very efficient combustion process. The CO emission level established by the Portuguese law for this type of reactor was never exceeded under typical operating conditions. The temperature profile along the reactor confirms that the combustion of the fuel samples prepared occurs mainly in the freeboard zone. It was not observed agglomeration problems and the fluidization conditions were kept constant during all the experimental tests. After the combustion experiments a considerable ashes quantity were found and its particle size distribution was estimated.
Foi realizada uma revisão sucinta do processo de produção de pasta de papel, a fim de compreender a origem da lama biológica. Uma revisão geral das opções atuais de tratamento para este tipo de resíduo foi abordada. O tratamento térmico por combustão foi focalizado e uma avaliação do estado da arte deste processo foi realizada. Foi verificado que o elevado teor de humidade da lama representa uma grande preocupação. Por tanto, realizou-se uma revisão do estado da arte em relação à secagem térmica das lamas. O comportamento da lama secundaria da indústria de pasta e papel foi estudado experimentalmente em um túnel de secagem. Foram observados os fenómenos de encolhimento e rachaduras além do fenomeno de crosta, embora este último não seja muito pronunciado. Foi desenvolvido um modelo de cinética de secagem com recurso ao uso de Redes Neurais Artificiais, sendo observado um elevado coeficiente de correlação nas experiências de validação. Foi realizada uma análise teórica ao processo de co-combustão de lama com biomassa florestal numa instalação de combustão de 50MWth. Estudou-se a inclusão de diferentes fracções de lama numa mistura de combustível contendo biomassa florestal, assim como também a influência do teor de humidade da lama. Verificou-se que a combustão de lamas biológicas com mais do que 50 wt% em teor de humidade não é possível. Além disso, a inclusão destas lamas na mistura de combustível provoca um aumento do consumo de combustível na instalação, da produção de sólidos e das perdas de calor no efluente gasoso da instalação. Com base em considerações termodinâmicas foi determinada a potência térmica de um secador de lamas. A utilização do calor residual para suprir as necessidades energéticas do processo de secagem foi abordada a través da estimativa da disponibilidade de calor residual na forma de calor sensível e calor latente no efluente gasoso da instalação de combustão. Foi realizado um conjunto de experiências de combustão de lamas e sua mistura com biomassa florestal num reactor de leito fluidizado borbulhante á escala piloto para avaliar a eficiência de combustão através da concentração de CO2, CO, O2 e H2O, em conjunto com o perfil de temperaturas ao longo do reactor. Foram utilizados dois tipos diferentes de amostras de combustível, uma composta por 100 wt% de lama biológica (combustível 1), e outra composta por 50 wt% de lama biológica e 50 wt% de biomassa florestal residual (tamanho de partícula <1mm) (combustível 2). Foram observados baixos níveis de CO no efluente gasoso, emparticular para a amostra de combustível 2, o qual indica um processo de combustão muito eficiente. Para condições de operação (temperatura e estequimetria) típicas, verificou-se que o limite de emissão de CO estabelecido pela lei Portuguesa para este tipo de fornalhas não foi excedido. O perfil de temperatura ao longo do reactor confirma que a combustão das amostras de combustível preparadas ocorre principalmente na zona do freeboard. Não foram verificados problemas de aglomeração e as condições de fluidização foram mantidas constantes durante todos os ensaios experimentais. Após os ensaios de combustão foi observada uma quantidade considerável de cinzas na fornalha, tendo sido avaliada a sua distribuição granulométrica.

Abstract:
Two different types of sludges from two popular sewage treatment systems were used in this study; namely, anaerobic pond sludge from a wastewater stabilisation pond system and filter pressed primary sludge from a primary sewage treatment plant. Under Egyptian conditions, Ascaris eggs represent the main health concern for sludge application on land and, accordingly, the effect of sand drying beds and a passive composting system (using agricultural wastes as bulking agents and cement dust as an additive to the sludge) were studied in terms of the inactivation of Ascaris eggs. From the characterisation and assessment of the anaerobic pond sludge from the Mit Mazah wastewater stabilisation pond system, it has been concluded that the sludge was well digested and free of viable Ascaris eggs. Consequently, this sludge is considered to be safe for land application, after appropriate dewatering. For the purposes of the study, anaerobic pond sludge was seeded with Ascaris vitilorum eggs (cattle ascarid). Within 30 days of dewatering on sand drying beds during the winter season (October and November), the Ascaris eggs were found to be inactivated only in the top layers, where the average solids content was approximately 85%. By the end of the two month drying period, the middle and bottom layers of sludge on the drying beds contained an average solids content of 74% to 77% and 72 to 73%, respectively, yet viable Ascaris eggs were still detected. During a second sludge application during the winter season (December and January), unfavourable weather conditions prevailed and, by the end of the 60 days drying period, total solids content averaged 54% in the top layer of sludge. The middle and bottom layers had an average total solids content of 49% and 44%, respectively. Throughout the winter drying period, all samples collected were positive for viable Ascaris eggs throughout the full depth of sludge. However, during the summer season, samples collected from the drying beds after 17 days of drying did not contain viable Ascaris eggs in the top sludge layers, where the solids content ranged from 74% to 63%. After one month of summer drying, no viable Ascaris eggs were detected throughout the entire depth of sludge on the drying beds and the lowest solids content recorded was 80% for the bottom layers. From this study, it can be concluded that, during the wet season in Egypt, drying beds were not efficient in destroying Ascaris eggs throughout the entire sludge depth. During the summer season, Ascaris eggs can be inactivated much more rapidly, compared to the winter season. Desiccation does not seem to be the only factor influencing the destruction of Ascaris eggs, with sludge temperature, solar radiation intensity and exposure time being possible major factors. By comparing the composting of filter pressed primary sludge in passive and windrow piles (used as control piles), it has been proved that the passive composting system is much more efficient in maintaining regular high temperatures in the composting mixture for a much longer duration (additional 10 days), due to the favourable aerobic conditions. Moreover, passive composting preserves the nitrogen content through the naturally controlled internal temperature, less need for turning and lower loss of moisture. By the end of the composting process, the total nitrogen content for the passive and windrow piles was a gain of 17.5% and a loss of 0.7%, respectively, while the ammoniacal nitrogen content in the product was 1109 mg/l and 837 m/l, respectively. From the hygienic point of view, passive composting technology proved to be much more effective in inactivating Ascaris eggs present in the primary sludge, compared to the windrow pile system. Viable Ascaris eggs were not detected after 30 days of composting using the passive system, compared with 60 days of composting for the windrow pile. Industrial cement dust as an additive and agricultural wastes (from fennel and basil production) were incorporated with sludge to form a range of composing mixtures. From the sludge/cement dust composting piles with agricultural wastes as bulking agent, it can be concluded that more than 35% concentration of cement dust was unfavourable for the decomposition process, due to the high pH and high temperature levels attained as a result of the effect of cement dust and dehydration of the organic matter. Moreover, loss of nitrogen was very high, due to the release of ammonia, encouraged by the high pH and high temperature in the composting mixture. The passive composting system was very efficient in naturally controlling the internal temperature in all the sludge/cement dust piles with bulking agent. Excessive heat was released to the atmosphere through the chimney effect created by the circulation of air through the perforated pipes and upwards into the pile. Internal temperatures for even the piles with the highest proportion of cement dust did not exceed 73°C. Inactivation of Ascaris eggs was achieved after only 15 days of composting for all the different cement dust concentrations, mainly due to the influence of high pH and high temperature levels for long periods but may also be due to the high release of ammonia gas. The passive composting of sludge amended with 30% cement dust without bulking agent was inefficient for both the decomposition process and inactivation of Ascaris eggs. No biological activity was taking place during the two months fermentation stage, due to the prevailing anaerobic conditions (lack of air voids and high moisture content) By considering all the different parameters for evaluating a treated compost, including the stability, maturity, nutrient content, heavy metals content and viable Ascaris eggs content for the sludge/cement dust piles with bulking agent, it can be concluded that more than 30% cement dust concentration would be unfavourable, according to the relatively high loss of nitrogen. More than 35% cement dust concentration is certainly unfavourable, mainly as a result of the delay of the decomposition process, the elongation of the composting period and the high loss of nitrogen content. There is no need to separate out the agricultural waste bulking materials after composting because they are organic in nature. Likewise, there is no need to consider separating out the cement dust, as the physicochemical analysis of the final sludge/cement compost with bulking materials showed its suitability for adding to agricultural land as an amendment. In conclusion, sand bed drying is considered to be a suitable process for dewatering of anaerobic stabilisation pond sludge in Egypt and, for extended periods between pond desludging of the order of 6 years, the dewatered sludge will be suitable for direct application to agricultural land. Passive composting is an appropriate technique for preparation of Egyptian filter pressed primary sludge for safe application to agricultural land. Cement dust additions of less than 30% concentration, to the composting mixture in a passive composting system produces sanitised and mature compost. The potential for co-disposal of agricultural wastes and cement kiln dust as bulking agents and additive, respectively, with sewage sludge in the production of compost, is very promising to produce a safe and beneficial outcome to the community.

Abstract:

Floc density measurements may play a significant role in analyzing sludge dewatering characteristics. A laboratory technique was developed to measure this property by means of isopycnic centrifugation. Four laboratory sludges were subjected to a series of dewatering tests: gravity thickening, centrifugation, vacuum filtration, and highâ pressure dewatering. Each sludge was analyzed for changing macro-and microâ properties during increasing stages of dewatering. It was concluded that sludge thickening rates are influenced by aggregate volume fractions, sludge density, suspension porosity, and the total surface area occupied by sludge aggregates. The extent of mechanical dewatering is impacted by similar parameters; namely, floc volume fractions, sludge density, cake porosity, and the total surface area occupied by sludge floc.

By interpreting the laboratory data, a model was formulated to describe changes in water distribution during the dewatering of sludges. This model includes a speculative view of the qualification and quantification of water-types.

Experiments were performed on alum, anaerobically digested and aerobically digested sludges to determine the optimum polymer conditioning for a belt filter press The optimum polymer dosages for all three zones of a belt filter press were compared with each other to determine the best overall conditioning. The requirements of all three zones of a belt filter press were the same. However, the gravity rate of drainage seems to under predict the dosages for optimum belt filter press performance. In addition the total mixing energy, G (the shear) and t (the mixing time), that represents the laboratory belt filter press was found to be approximately 45,000. Using a mixing energy input of 45,000 and a standard Buchner funnel apparatus the correct polymer dose for the belt filter press can be predicted.

Separation of liquid from solids is a necessary step in the ultimate disposal of wastewater sludges. Most commonly, sludges are dewatered by pressure-filtration methods. Mathematical models of the physics of the sludge dewatering process would provide the ability to predict dewatering performance and optimize the design and operation of dewatering facilities.

Abstract:
This paper presents the economic optimization of indirect sewage sludge heat dryer for sewage sludge incineration plants. The objective function based on two-phase heat transfer, and economic relations is provided to demonstrate the optimum size for the minimum investment cost. De-watered sludge is fed into the dryer with a mass flow rate of 165 tons per day and consists of 27% dry matter. After the sludge drying process, the dryness of sludge increases up to 40%. In the indirect sludge dryer unit, thermal oil is used to heat the dryer wall and to prevent heat loss. Thermal oil is circulated in a closed cycle and gathered into an oil tank. Total cost of the sludge dryer unit changes proportional to the dryer area. The optimum dryer area is found as 32.54 m2. The corresponding minimum cost is found as $35,700.

Abstract:
This paper presents the experimental analysis of sewage sludge drying process using Taguchi method to know the characteristics and optimize drying process parameters. There have been attempt to perform the sewage sludge disposal such as simple reclaiming, dumping in the sea, incineration. Currently, these methods are restricted by national or international government regulations. The drying process is adopted as effective method for sewage sludge treatment, however sewage sludge makes difficult to treat with large volume at the real drying process plant because of its own complicated physical, chemical, and thermal properties. To treat the sewage sludge in view of environmental friendly and cost effective way, it is necessary to control the volume and weight of sewage sludge. It is not only reduces the delivery expenses and improve the re-usability, but also prevents several shift environmental pollution from nocuous sewage sludge. In this study, sewage sludge drying process parameter was modeled and evaluated with Taguchi method. From these research results the process parameters can be optimized to satisfy the desired qualities of particle diameter and moisture content of dried sewage sludge, and also provided to achieve the economic process operation.
