Description
The primary purpose of this course is to provide an overview of the primary methods of solids digestion. The complete digestion and final disposal of sludge in an integral part of the wastewater treatement process. The digestion process reduces the volume of the volatile portion of the sludge and creates less volume to deal with for the processes that follow. These processes include dewatering, hauling, incineration, composting, disposal in a landfill, or land application. In general, the less volume, the less expense incurred. With today's increasing chemical technologies it is important to review your chemical dewatering options often to reduce costs.
