Study on the Ignition Temperature of Sewage Sludge

Determination of the ignition temperatures of sewage sludge

“…Numerous definitions of ignition temperature are given in the literature (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). They are strongly dependent on the experimental apparatus, the experimental method, and the particular phenomenon associated with ignition.…”

“…One set of measurements of ignition temperatures of sewage sludge has been reported (2,3). A smoking temperature, the sludge temperature at which visible smoke was emitted, and an ignition température, the sludge temperature at which a visible flame was observed, were defined.…”
