Abstract:Solids minimization is a key consideration in the operation and cost of a treatment system, the potential disposal options for the final solids, and the sustainability of the process. Historically, solids minimization has been accomplished using wet processes that improve the digestibility. However, thermal process, including well established technologies such as incineration or heat drying, as well as some “emerging” technologies such as gasification or sludge-to-fuel options, are gaining interest.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
