Sludge transportation costs can represent a large fraction of the
expenses associated with municipal and faecal sludge management.
These costs can be mitigated through the use of thermal drying
approaches to reduce the sludge volume. This thesis described the
application of a novel microwave-based pilot-scale unit as an
alternative technology for the sanitisation and drying of sludge
from municipal wastewater treatment plants and on-site sanitation
facilities. The potential economic benefits of volumetric heating,
moisture levelling, and increased liquid and vapour migration from
the interior to the surface of the product underpins the increasing
interest in the use of microwave technology during sludge treatment
processes. According to the findings of this study, these factors
lead to faster processing times, improved drying rates, and a
reduced physical footprint. Furthermore, microwave technology
operates as a standalone treatment unit. When coupled with
mechanical dewatering techniques and membrane separation
technology, it can increase the reliability of the technology
employed in the treatment of sludge while recovering valuable
resources through an agricultural or thermochemical application
such as (co-) combustion. The results of this work demonstrate the
strong feasibility of applying microwave-based technology within
initiatives designed to protect the environment and safeguard
public health.
