SLUDGE
Sludge is the concentrated impurities of waste water into solid form

SLUDGE CHARACTERISTICS
Primary settling remove the settleable fraction of raw wastewater solids , the quantity of this solid on the dry mass basis can be determined as:-
Mp = ᶓ *SS * Q
Where Mp= mass of primary solids;kg/d
ᶓ = efficiency of primary clarifier
SS=total suspended solids in effluent
Q = flow rate ; m3/d

Secondary sludge is composed primarily of biological solids , the quantity of which can be estimated by:-
Ms= Y × BOD 5× Q Where Ms = mass of secondary solids , kg/d Y = biomass conversion factor BOD5 =BOD5 removed by secondary
treatment kg/m3 Q = flow rate , m3/d

CHARACTERISTICS
Specific gravity :- sludge have specific gravity of 1.0
Solid concentration:- it defines the relative fracction of solids and liquids in a slurry and expressed as mg/l
![Page 8: Env sudha](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/557c84dad8b42a37278b5054/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SLUDGE THICKENING
Thickening is a procedure used to increase the solid content of sludge by removing a portion of the liquid fraction
Thickening is generally acomplished by physical means including gravity settling , flotation , centrifugation etc
Location of the thickener in a wastewater treatment plant is important.
![Page 9: Env sudha](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/557c84dad8b42a37278b5054/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A thickener operates like a settling tank The feed enters from the middle , are
distributed radially The settled sludge is collected from the
underflow The effluent exits over the weirs The thickening process takes place in settling
tank with long enough solids retention time

GRAVITY THICKENER
![Page 11: Env sudha](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/557c84dad8b42a37278b5054/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Gravity thickeners contain pickets on the scraper cause a horizontal agitation .
It helps to release water trapped in the flocculent structure of the sludge
These are commonly used when suspended culture system sludges are to be thickened
These thickeners have ability to double the solid content of the sludge
![Page 12: Env sudha](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/557c84dad8b42a37278b5054/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

SLUDGE DIGESTION
Sludge digestion serves both to reduce the volume of the thickened sludge still further and to render the remaining solids and relatively reduce pathogen
These goals can be achieved by :- Anaerobic digestion Aerobic digestion
![Page 14: Env sudha](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/557c84dad8b42a37278b5054/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
ANAEROBIC DIGESTION
Anaerobic digestion is the most common method for dealing with the waste water containing primary sludge
The principle function is to convert as much of the sludge as possible to end products such as liquid and gases
Very less residual biomass as possible is produced
![Page 15: Env sudha](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/557c84dad8b42a37278b5054/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The anaerobic sludge digestion often divides the organisms into broad groups :-
Acid formers Methane formers
![Page 16: Env sudha](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/557c84dad8b42a37278b5054/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ACID FORMERS
The acid formers consist of facultative and anaerobic bacteria and include organisms that solubilize the organic solids through hydrolysis
The soluble products are then fermented to acids and alcohols of low molecular weight
![Page 17: Env sudha](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/557c84dad8b42a37278b5054/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
METHANE FORMERS
Methane formers consist of strict anaerobic bacteria
Acids and alcohols along with hydrogen and carbon dioxide are converted to methane
![Page 18: Env sudha](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/557c84dad8b42a37278b5054/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Pathway and products of anaerobic digestion
![Page 19: Env sudha](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/557c84dad8b42a37278b5054/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Sludge is fed into the digestor on an intermittent basis and supernatant is withdrawn and returned to secondary treatment unit
![Page 20: Env sudha](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/557c84dad8b42a37278b5054/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
A typical standard rate anaerobic digester consisting of a single – stage operation
The conical bottom facilitates sludge withdrawal
Floating cover accommodate volume change due to sludge addition or withdrawl
Sludge separates in the reactorAlthough some mixing occur in the zone of
active digestion and in the supernatant
![Page 21: Env sudha](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/557c84dad8b42a37278b5054/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
HIGH RATE DIGESTERS
These are more efficient Require less volumeThe contents are mechanicaly mixed to
ensure better contact between the organics and the microorganisms
Unit is heated to increase the metabolic rate of the microorganisms
Optimum tempurature is around 35 ̊ C
![Page 22: Env sudha](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/557c84dad8b42a37278b5054/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Little gas is generated in the second stage But the second stage is covered and is
equipped for gas recoveryThe second stage reactor is not heated

AEROBIC DIGESTION
This process is essentially a continuation of the aeration process , with the volume being reduced by thickening in the secondary clarifier and sludge thickener
It is an endogenous respiration process
