  1. Sludge Treatment CE 326 Principles of Environmental Engineering Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering Iowa State University Prof. Tim Ellis Spring 2010

  2. Announcements • Monday, April 26th • Course review • Exam review • Wednesday, April 28th • 3rd Exam during lab period (in lab classroom) • Friday, April 30th • No class • A.S. design lab due

  3. History • Thomas Crapper • Myth or legend? The World War I doughboys passing through England brought together Crapper's name and the toilet. They saw the words T. Crapper-Chelsea printed on the tanks and coined the slang "crapper" meaning toilet (from : Plumbing and Mechanical, June 1993).

  4. Sludge Processes • Thickening • Stabilization • Conditioning • Dewatering • Volume Reduction • Disposal

  5. Thickening • c___________ sludge using gravity or f________ methods. Primary sludge can be thickened to a maximum of about 10% solids and secondary sludge to a maximum of about 6% solids. oncentrating lotation

  10. Stabilization rganics • Converting the o_______ in the sludge to more stable (inert) forms so they can be handled more easily (more d____________, less potential for odors) and used as soil conditioners. • Typically stabilization involves anaerobic or aerobic digestion. • During digestion considerable v______ s_____ destruction occurs ewaterable olatile olids

  11. Conditioning • Addition of c_________ to allow better separation of the water and the solids. Ferric c_______ and organic and inorganic p_______ are frequently used for sludge conditioning. oagulant hloride olymer

  12. Dewatering • V________, pressure, or drying methods for removing w_____ from the solids. • Typically about 25 to 35% solids can be achieved. acuum ater

  13. Volume Reduction • Drying and p__________ for sale as a fertilizer • C__________ • I___________ of sludge with ash residual for ultimate disposal. elletization omposting ncineration

  14. Biosolids • Biosolids are t_______ s______; • there are two different classes: • Class A: no detectable levels of p___________ and meets m_____ regulations, requires controlled treatment process involving high pH, temperature, or both; no permit required for land application • Class B: have been t_______ but may contain some pathogens and metals, requires permit for land application • approximately __% of all biosolids are land applied reated ludge athogens etals reated 50

  15. Processes for Class A • Processes for generating Class A biosolids: • sludge p___________ • T____________ treatment (55̊C for 24 h) • temperature p______ anaerobic digestion (55̊C digester followed by 35̊C digester) developed at ISU asturization hermophilic hased
