Minimization of excess sludge production by in-situ activated sludge treatment processes--a comprehensive review.

TL;DR: This review presents the current and emerging technologies for excess sludge minimization within the process of sewage treatment and guides researchers who are seeking feasible and promising technologies (or processes) to tackle the severe WAS problem.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comprehensive insight into the combined effects of Fenton's reagent and skeleton builders on sludge deep dewatering performance.

TL;DR: Conditioning sewage sludge with Fenton's reagent and skeleton builders has been proved to be an effective mean to achieve deep dewatering and a comprehensive insight into the mechanism involved is given.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sludge cycling between aerobic, anoxic and anaerobic regimes to reduce sludge production during wastewater treatment: Performance, mechanisms, and implications

TL;DR: Though discrepancies across various studies are recognisable, it is apparent that sludge retention time, oxygen-reduction potential of the anaerobic tank, temperature, sludge return ratio and loading mode are relevant to sludge minimisation by sludge cycling approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minimization of sludge production by a side-stream reactor under anoxic conditions in a pilot plant.

TL;DR: Simply applying an anoxic side-stream reactor in the sludge return line of a conventional activated sludge system would decrease the final volume of waste sludge while maintaining the slud retention time and would, in fact, decrease the economic costs in terms of sludge handling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simultaneous waste activated sludge disintegration and biological hydrogen production using an ozone/ultrasound pretreatment.

TL;DR: The combined ozone/ultrasound pretreatment provides an ideal and environmental friendly solution to the problem of sludge disposal.

A review of secondary sludge reduction technologies for the pulp and paper industry.

TL;DR: A critical evaluation of all candidate reduction technologies indicates that sludge reduction through treatment process changes appears more appealing than post-treatment alternatives, and it is unlikely to be economically feasible at this time.

Aerobic granular sludge—a case report

TL;DR: Aerobic granular sludge was observed in a Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) in which a synthetic urban wastewater containing sodium acetate as an organic substrate was fed, and dissolved oxygen (DO) was controlled at low concentration (0.7-1.0 mg/l) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Strategy for minimization of excess sludge production from the activated sludge process.

TL;DR: This paper reviews strategies developed for minimization of excess sludge production, such as oxic-settling-anaerobic process, high dissolved oxygen process, uncoupler-containing activated sludge process, ozonation-combined activated slud process, control of sludge retention time and biodegradation of slud in membrane-assisted reactor.
