How many different types of sludge are there?
3 types: Sewage sludge Septic tank sludge Industrial sludge ------- The term "sludge" is used in different disciplines to mean different things. For example, there is sewage sludge industrial sludge metal sludge gallbladder sludge engine sludge the muddy gunk on the bottom of a stream or river slushy ice on the ocean an agglutination or aggregation of blood cells
Is viscous liquid a sludge?
no. but a sludge is a viscous liquid
What is sewage treatment?
Sewage sludge is the solids that are left over at the end of the sewage treatment process. The products of sewage treatment are: clean water which is released to the environment and sludge. Sludge consists mostly of cellulose (in the form of dead bacteria) and water. Cellulose is also what wood is made from; it does not decompose easily which is why the cellulose has not been broken down in the sewage treatment plant. The water content of sludge will vary from 30% water to 90% water depending on how much the sludge has been dewatered at the treatment plant. If you can imagine the appearance of a magazine after it had been through a food processor with just enough water to keep it soggy, that is what dewatered sludge will look like. Sludge should not be though of as concentrated sewage but it is still not safe to handle unless it has been processed in some way to kill harmful bacteria and viruses that are likely still living in the sludge. In North America most sewage sludge is sent to a landfill site; other options include further processing in 'Sludge Lagoons,' further biological processing and methane harvesting in an enclosed container; or processing into dry pellets for use on gardens. If sludge is sold to the public it will be heat processed and/or dried to kill bacteria. It will also be tested for contaminants such as dissolved metals that may be present in the raw sewage and not removed by the treatment process.
What is hypo sludge?
hypo sludge is a waste produced in paper manufactering industry

Metal sludge can be used to recover useful metals.
How is sludge treated?
biologically by anaerobic bacteria

What is a biogas?
It is a gas produced by the anaerobic digestion or fermentation of organic matter under anaerobic conditions. These materials include but are not limited to manure, sewage sludge, municipal solid waste, and biodegradable waste. Biogas consists primarily of methane and carbon dioxide.
Why is the sludge in an aerobic digestion tank stirred and heated during sewage treatment?
Without stirring, oxygen does not get to the majority of the sludge. This makes it anaerobic rather than aerobic. Anaerobic bacteria tend to be nastier, and emit methane, a powerful and explosive greenhouse gas. If the waste is aerobicly treated, it is less likely to absorb oxygen when it is ejected into a local river, and less likely to hurt local wildlife (fish).

What is paper sludge?
Paper sludge is the leftover chemical sludge that is expelled when making paper. This sludge reduces as paper is recycled.
Bulking sludge the same as swimming sludge?
yes
Is viscous liquid a sludge?
no. but a sludge is a viscous liquid
What is orange sludge under car?
There is no substance in your car that should look like orange sludge. The sludge has to be a foreign material. Try locating the source of the sludge and then work from there.
What are types of sludge?
There are so many different types of sludge that can be created. Sludge types can include but are not limited to chemical.
