Abstract
Sludge melting systems have been recently applied to the treatment of a great deal of sludge generated from sewage treatment plants, and the plant scale has become bigger and bigger in accordance with the social requirements. This paper reports operating data of one of the biggest scale melting plants for sewage sludge equipped with two reflector type melting furnace trains and includes running cost data as well as estimates for scaling up the process.
