Energy from Wastewater Sewage Sludge in Lebanon
The Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW) and the Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR) are considering investing in energy produced from
wastewater sludge through anaerobic digestion (AD). Currently, Lebanon has only a few constructed wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), however many
others are either under construction, under designphase assessment, or are envisioned to be assessed in the future. The goal of this study is to undergo a feasibility assessment to identify the WWTPs that meet the conditions to implement AD and elaborate the related technical specifications.

Sludge Dehydration Technologies
INTRODUCTION
Dewatering is a physical process integrated in the sludge line of treatment plant. It is aimed at reducing the water content and therefore the sludge volume. In this way, its transportation costs to the final destination point is reduced. On the other hand, the dewatered sludge is easier to handle and the transport process is more convenient than in the case of a sludge with higher water content.
The dewatering technique chosen must be consistent with the amount and characteristics of sludges generated and with the biosolid final destination.
Water present in the sludge exists in four forms (see figure): free, colloidal, intercellular and capillary. Free water can be separated from sludge by gravity as it is not associated with solids. Chemical conditioning prior to the use of mechanical tools is required in order to remove colloidal and capillary water. For intercellular water removal, the structure containing it must be broken and this can be done through heat treatment.

Drinking Water Treatment Plant Residuals Management Technical Report
INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) completed a review of discharges from water treatment plants (WTPs). The purpose of this report is to summarize the data collected during this review (principally covered in Sections 2, 3, 9, 10, and 11) and to serve as a technical resource to permit writers (primarily covered in Sections 4 through 8 and Sections 12 and 13). EPA selected the drinking water treatment (DWT) industry for a rulemaking as part of its 2004 Biennial Effluent Limitations and Guidelines Program planning process. EPA is not at this time continuing its effluent guidelines rulemaking for the DWT industry. In the 2004 Plan, EPA announced that it would begin development of a regulation to control the pollutants discharged from medium and large DWT plants. See 69 FR 53720 (September 2, 2004). Based on a preliminary study and on public comments, EPA was interested in the potential volume of discharges associated with drinking water facilities. The preliminary data were not conclusive, and the Agency proceeded with additional study and analysis of treatability, including an industry survey. After considering extensive information about the industry, its treatment residuals, wastewater treatment options, and discharge characteristics, and after considering other priorities, EPA has suspended work on this rulemaking.

Activated Sludge Aeration Waste Heat for Membrane Evaporation of Desalination Brine Concentrate: A Bench Scale Collaborative Study
This study examines a potential membrane evaporation process to reduce brine concentrate volume at the San Antonio Water System’s (SAWS) 45.4 million liters per day (MLD) brackish water desalination facility in San Antonio, Texas, which is currently being constructed. This facility is a reverse osmosis (RO) process operating with 90% recovery by blending 37.9 MLD of permeate with 7.6 MLD of bypass water, producing 4.2 MLD of brine concentrate. The brine concentrate residuals are to be disposed of through deep-well injection. The deep-well injection process is anticipated to be expensive due to well-drilling costs and maintenance costs of operating at high injection pressures. Membrane evaporation systems are promising because they are compact systems and they can be used with low grade waste heat energy sources. This study investigates the potential of coupling membrane evaporation with waste heat generated from activated sludge aeration blowers.

Sewage Sludge Management In Germany
Introduction
What is sewage sludge?
In Germany, daily water use now reaches 120 litres per person. All of this water ultimately ends up in the sewage system, and from there is channelled to sewage treatment plants. At such plants, the sewage passes through screens and sieves and undergoes mechanical and biological purification,
the goal being to remove impurities from the sewage and to then channel the resulting purified water into waterbodies. The residue of this process is known as
sewage sludge, which can occur in anhydrous, dried or other processed forms.
