PROCESSING OF SLUDGE TREATMENT FACILITIES

Abstract

Sewage systems are one of the main sources of pollution of land and water bodies. Expensive reagents, high energy consumption and formation of explosive gases are disadvantages of old technologies of processing of sludge waste water.The article examines the possibility of processing of sludge treatment facilities at the pilot plant microwave thermolysis for the purpose of its utilization and obtaining of commodity products. The installation is part of the existing plant for the processing of waste. Determination of technological parameters is carried out, the material balance of the process is composed. The use of microwave radiation shortens the time of decomposition of the sludge compared to the traditional method, reduces the volume of recyclable substances, neutralizes and clears it from pathogens. The resulting carbon residue can be used as fuel or as road construction material. The current system of gas treatment makes the process environmentally safe.
