Ai. Zouboulis et A. Guitonas, USE OF FLY-ASH AS CONDITIONING AGENT FOR IMPROVING BIOLOGICAL SLUDGE DEWATERABILITY BY FILTER PRESS, Fresenius environmental bulletin, 4(6), 1995, pp. 387-392
Biological sludges becoming from secondary settling tanks, i.e. sewage
and industrial sludge were dewatered using a pilot-scale filtration p
ress. Fly ash (two different samples from Ptolemais and Megalopolis) w
as examined as an alternative, cheap sludge conditioning agent. Severa
l parameters were evaluated, and good results have been obtained in co
mparison with other more conventional used inorganic filtration aids.
