Abstract
To prevent odors from putrescible sludges and health hazardous gas problems,lime stabilization has often been favoured at several treatment plants. It is recognized that chemical stabilization with lime does not reduce the organic material in the sludge or result in its permanent stabilization. Only a prolongation of the time required before microbial break-down takes place can be expected. However, in many cases temporary stabilization is sufficient and lime stabilization is therefore used at several treatment plants.
