Description
This research is looking into eight different ways to reduce sludge from wastewater treatment plants. The routes have been compared in terms of OPEX and CAPEX costs, and the research found that the routes are quite comparable.
This project aims at the evaluation of eight various routes that potentially may allow wastewater treatment plants to produce less sludge (from 5% to 100%). It has been possible to define several routes that could be applied efficiently with knowledge of possible side-effects (risk management) and an estimation of associated costs (OPEX/CAPEX), which are quite comparable to those used in conventional sludge treatment and disposal.
