Sludge treatment and recovery

Sludge volume is growing exponentially: the more water we treat, the more we produce. It is a global phenomenon, linked to demographic development, urbanism and economic activity.

To meet the challenge, it is necessary to seek multiple solutions: finding a way to treat sludge while reducing volume, but also to obtain a safer, higher quality sludge. Evolving solutions in this field must integrate the economic reality that growing volumes raise treatment costs. However, the constraints represented by the increasing sludge volumes to be treated, can be offset by leveraging the enormous potential of biosolids. For example, the potential savings of utilizing biogas production is an important element for consideration in a treatment plants’ energy needs.
