I. The Source of Sludge
• Screenings: grid or mesh, trash-like, little amount, landfill or incineration;
• Scum: aerated grit chamber or secondary sedimentation tank surface, may contain oil,
little amount, treatment with sludge;
• Sediment: grit chamber, large-proportion inorganic particles, little amount, landfill;
• Primary sludge: inorganic-based, large particles, easy to corrupt smelly, may contain
eggs and pathogens, the main target of sludge treatment;
• Secondary sedimentation sludge: the remaining sludge, organic, high moisture content,
easy to corrupt smelly, difficult to dewater, the main target of sludge treatment;
• Chemical sludge: after chemical treatment, besides suspended solids in raw
wastewater, sediment produced by chemicals, easy for dewatering and compaction.

3. Toxic and Hazardous Substances
• Sludge contains a certain amount of N (4%), P (2.5%) and K (0.5%) and can serve as a
fertilizer to some extent.
• Sludge contains bacteria, viruses, parasites eggs, etc., Treatment is necessary prior to
the application;

4. Dewatering Performance
• Free water (also known as interstitial water): the water exists in gaps of sludge particles
accounting for about 70% of the sludge water, and can be separated by gravity or
centrifugal force;
• Capillary water: exists in capillary of sludge particles, about 20%, and requires a larger
force;
• Adhesive water: the water that adheres to the surface of particles or cells.
• Internal water: exists inside the particles of sludge (including intracellular water)
Selection of sludge teatment method depends on the moisture content of the sludge and final disposal

1. Sludge Treatment and Disposal
• Way out: some or all is used, or returned to the natural environment in a certain form;
• Sludge utilization: mainly agricultural or industrial use
• Final disposal method: landfill, incineration, marine delivery, underground delivery
Landfilling: necessary pre-treatment, stabilization treatment;
• Incineration: a significant volume of reduction, sterilization; strict exhaust gas treatment,
high operating costs;
• Delivery: underground caves, abandoned mines, deep well, ocean, etc. - Has gradually
been banned!

• Because of the different density between solid and liquid, the different
centrifugal forces in high-speed rotation make the two separated;
• Continuous work. HRT is only a few minutes. The solid containing rate of
sludge output is more than 4%.

water): presents in the sludge with
heating and stirring device;
• Shorten the HRT, to improve the
biogas production, in the temperature
(30 ~ 35 ℃) conditions, the general
digestion time is about 15 days, with
stable operation;
• However, high-speed stirring makes
sludge in digestion tanks un-

I. Sludge Conditioning
Dosing Conditioning Method
• Add inorganic or organic conditioning agent with electric charges to the sludge to start
chemical reaction on the surface of sludge liquid particles. Neutralization of electric charges
takes place on the particle surface, so the water is freed, while the sludge particles are
agglomerated into large particles floc, which causes the specific impedance of the sludge (or
CST) to reduce.
• The conditioning effect is related to the type of conditioning agent, dosing quantity and
environmental factors.

II. Sludge Dewatering and Drying
• Objective: to remove the large amounts of water in sludge, reduce the size and weight;
• After dewatering, drying treatment, moisture content of sludge is decreased from 90%
to 60-80%, and the volume is 1 / 10-1 / 5 of the original.
• Natural drying usually adopts dry bed;
• Mechanical dewatering usually adopts frame filter press, belt filter press, centrifugal
dewatering machine.

III. Sludge Drying and Incineration
• The dried sludge, by the dewatered sludge treatment, gets rid of capillary water, adsorbs
water and internal water mostly in sludge, and reduces the moisture content from 60-80%
to 10-30%;
• Sludge incineration is to remove all the adsorbed water, internal water and organic matters
in the dried sludge, so that the moisture content drops to zero, and the sludge is converted
into dust;
• Drying and incineration are reliable and effective sludge treatment method, but its
equipment investment and running costs are very high.
