How sludge is treated, dried, and put to use in early sewage systems—and what those methods cost and accomplish.
This nonfiction work surveys how different sludge treatment approaches were developed and implemented. It explains how drying, disposal, and reuse relate to odors, public nuisance, and sanitary goals. Readers will see how concepts like the Emscher tank and various drying methods shaped real-world operations in cities around the world.
The text covers practical topics from the mechanics of sludge clarification and sedimentation to options for disposal by burning, land application, or sea dumping. It also discusses the economics of drying, the value of dried sludge as a fertilizer or fuel, and how these factors influenced plant design and policy decisions.
- How fresh and septic sludges differ and why drying is central to cost-effective disposal
- A survey of disposal methods, including burning, sea discharge, and land application
- The role of sedimentation, clarification, and sludge chambers in treatment plants
- Economic considerations, calorific value, and practical design concerns for sludge facilities
Ideal for readers of technical history, environmental engineering, and urban infrastructure studies who want a clear view of early sludge treatment challenges and solutions.
