How much water is in sludge from a sewage treatment plant?

I may be wrong but i do believe there is 0.8% water in sludge 60% of the time, all the time.


Sediments that settle out during water treatment?

sewage or sludge.


How purify water obtained after activated sludge treatment?

usually water from a activted sludge process treatment will be free of organic carbon, they generally contain nitrogenous, phosphate and inorganic wastes, and those nutrients could be treated by simultaneous nitrification and denitrification process. the treated water from activated sludge process and denitrification process would be virtually free of pollutants. usually water from a activted sludge process treatment will be free of organic carbon, they generally contain nitrogenous, phosphate and inorganic wastes, and those nutrients could be treated by simultaneous nitrification and denitrification process. the treated water from activated sludge process and denitrification process would be virtually free of pollutants.

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


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 do you mean by dewatering sludge?

Removing the water content (dewatering) of the sludge will dry the sludge, making it lighter and easier to move and reuse. (Reuse depends on whether the sludge is toxic and has to be stored safely or, as in human sludge from a sewerage farm, used as fertilizer by farmers, etc ).

What is a sludge judge and where can I find one?

A sludge judge is a device used to measure the depth of settled solids in a tank or lagoon, typically in wastewater treatment facilities. You can find a sludge judge at online retailers that specialize in environmental monitoring and sampling equipment, or through companies that supply equipment for water and wastewater management.

Where should submersible pump be placed or installed in ground water well?

There are a few parts to an answer. How deep is the water in your well? Is there sludge or sediment at the bottom of the well? How deep is this and how much is clean water? How long is your pump? How long is the motor housing? I just placed a 70cm pump, motor 35cm, in 250cm if clean water. 20cm of sludge. The bottom the motor housing was placed about 40cm above the sludge which means there is about 75 cm of clean water below the water inlet and 175cm of water above the pump. It will take many years for the sludge to rise and even in low water periods I should stay in operation.
