Changes in biological parameters during composting of sewage sludge treatment plant

The sewage sludge used in this study was collected from Taman Sri Nanding and Taman Koperasi Indah Water Consortium treatment plants, Malaysia. The sludges had a high moisture content around 80% to 82% and a low C/N ratio of 7 to 8.5. Both sludges had more or less similar characteristics. However pH...
