The standard rate or low rate sludge digestion process is usually a single stage sludge digestion process in which sludge digestion sludge thickening and supernatant formation takes place simultaneously The raw sludge is fed into the digester through a pipe which terminates near the centre of the tank The digested sludge is withdrawn from the tank bottom and supernatant is removed from 10 26 32 Sludge Management nptel Gravity thickening is accomplished in a tank similar in design to a sedimentation tank For design consideration total digester volume is a function of the fresh

More and more facilities are opting for the latter solution and are installing belt thickeners or drum thickeners to increase the solids content of the digesters to 4 to 6 While this brings the treatment plant into compliance under the new 60 day detention requirements it creates a whole series of new problems if the digester is not specifically designed to handle thickened sludge In Volume 6 Sludge treatment and disposal covers in detail sludge charac teristics production treatment thickening dewatering stabilisation pathogens removal and disposal land application for agricultural purposes sanitary land

Thickening is the first and frequently inevitable step in reducing the volume of sludge extracted from the water line In fact it is used to optimise the subsequent conditioning stabilisation and dewatering stages by reducing structure sizes and operating costsThe system consists of two or more aerobic digesters operating in conjunction with an anoxic basin and membrane thickener MBT One aerobic digester forms a recycle loop with the MBT and the anoxic basin that causes digested sludge to be continuously thickened while undergoing nitrification and
