OBS

Direct composting of the sludge can also be envisaged, but after addition of a material containing carbon (sawdust, straw, etc...), and preliminary dewatering of the sludge. In the case of sludge with a final high moisture content, the cost of the added material becomes prohibitive, because of the quantity required.

CONT

La transformation des boues en un amendement de sols facilement épandable peut être obtenue par compostage. [...] Une conception rationnelle des tours de fermentation équipées de dispositifs d'aération et de recyclage puissants permet de réduire à quelques jours la durée de fermentation accélérée. Le matériau carboné d'apport peut être de la sciure de bois, des écorces... ou des ordures ménagères, mais un traitement préliminaire de celles-ci est alors nécessaire.

CONT

Dans le cas de boues à humidité finale élevée, le coût du matériau d'apport devient prohibitif, du fait de la quantité requise.
