Study of Culture Condition for Solid State Fermentation of Sewage Treatment Plant Sludge to Compost

With increasing global wastewater production, disposal of sewage sludge is always problematic. Landfilling sewage sludge is a feasible option and is currently practiced in many parts of the world, including Malaysia. Selangor is the fastest developing state in Malaysia with a population of about...

Selangor is the fastest developing state in Malaysia with a population of about 4 million, attracting heavy foreign investments in industrial and trade sectors leading to a higher population flux during the last decade. Due to this industrial growth, considerable amounts of sewage sludge are generated and there is a considerable demand for landfilling.
