Advantages and Disadvantages of Several Sludge-Disposal Methods

Date: 4/20/2015

(1) Sanitary Landfill

The sanitary landfill is a relatively mature technology of sludge disposal, which began in 1960s. Sludge can be filled independently or filled together with domestic waste and industrial waste. This way of sludge disposal is simple and easy, low-cost, strongly adaptable. But sludge landfill still has some problems, especially in forming leachate and gas. If the landfill is improper in site or operation, the leachate may enter into and pollute the underground water. The main gas produced in landfill sites is methane, which will cause burning and explosion without taking appropriate measures.

(2) Direct Land Use

The direct land use is regarded as the most promising way of sludge disposal, because of it's advantages like less investment, low energy consumption, low operating cost, and the possibility for organic composition translating into soil conditioner. This disposal method applies sludge to farmland, vegetable field, orchard, grassplot, municipal greening, substrate and restoration and reconstruction of severely disturbed land, etc. Woodland and municipal greening are uneasy to cause the pollution of food chain and become effective ways of sludge land use. The farm use of sludge has become more popular in the world.

(3) Incineration

Wet sludge directly used in burning after drying is very common. It's the most thorough way among all the sludge treatment methods. It can carbonize organics, kill pathogens, minimize sludge volume. But it costs big investment in treatment facilities and processing.

(4) Low Temperature Pyrolysis Process

The status of sludge's thermal chemical treatment has been gradually enhanced because of its harmless and completely quantity reduction. It heats and dries the sludge to a certain temperature ( 500 ℃) under the effect of catalyst, then translates sludge into four flammable products, that is, oil, water, non-condensable gas and carbon, by carbonization and thermal decomposition. Low temperature pyrolysis is a net energy output process, whose cost is less than directly burning.
