The Influence of Thermal Hydrolysis on Sludge - Bill Barber, Cambi

Thermal hydrolysis has become standard practice in the wastewater industry, and has been used for over 20 years at full-scale. The reported benefits of thermal hydrolysis relate to: increased digestion loading rate due to altered rheological properties, improved biodegradation of (especially activated) sludge and enhanced dewaterability. In spite of its relative maturity, there has been no attempt to perform a review of the pertinent literature relating to the technology. This presentation shows results from such a review and summarizes the influence of thermal treatment on sludge, downstream anaerobic digestion and dewatering. The paper also looks at material and energy balances and suggests ways in which these can be improved.
