Abstract | ||
A demonstration experiment was conducted at damietta composting plant, to evaluate the potentional for co-composting of sewage sludge with municipal solid wastes. Three trial mixtures of different rates of sludge to solid waste were fermented in windrows. The results show that co-composting is possible. A suitable mixture ratio of sewage sludge to municipal solid waste would range from 1:2 to 1:4 (by volume). and the that resultant product is suitable for land reclamation. | ||
