Physical Inactivation and Stabilization of Sludges

  • Chapter
Sludge Characteristics and Behavior

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 66))

  • 167 Accesses

Abstract

High temperature conditioning of sludge is a stabilization process that insures sterilization. Both thermal pasteurization and irradiation are inactivation processes. Viruses and parasites are inactivated at 70–80° C. Total bacterial destruction requires higher temperatures and/or detention time.
