The leftover sewage sludge from treatment processes undergoes further treatment and disposal: **Anaerobic Digestion:** - Sludge is heated in the absence of oxygen, where bacteria convert organic matter to biogas. - Biogas can be used to generate electricity or heat. **Dewatering:** - Sludge is thickened and dewatered to reduce its volume. **Land Application:** - Dewatered sludge can be applied to land as a soil amendment or fertilizer. **Incineration:** - Sludge is burned at high temperatures to reduce its volume and mass. **Landfilling:** - In some cases, dewatered sludge may be disposed of in landfills. By utilizing these methods, Sewage Cleanup Service ensures proper disposal of sewage sludge, protecting the environment and safeguarding public health.
