Evaluation of Processes to Reduce Activated Sludge Solids Generation and Disposal

This research furthered the understanding of the fundamental mechanisms behind emerging waste activated sludge reduction/destruction technologies. The report provides a critical evaluation of the performance of physical, chemical and biological solids reduction processes with specific data included on Microsludge, Cannibal, Cambi thermal hydrolysis, and Crown pressure release processes. The research resulted in a method to evaluate current and future technologies or processes for their technical and economic applicability to specific wastewaters and local economic and non-economic conditions.
