New Developments in Processing of Sludges and Slurries

by A.M. Bruce, P. L'Hermite, P.J. Newman

Overview

This book demonstrates the prospects for enhancing thickening or dewatering of sewage sludges and outlines some of the methods which might come into consideration. It is based on the proceedings of a 'round-table' meeting held at Bilthoven, The Netherlands, in April 1985.
