I know that sludge has been spread on farmer's fields. Problem is, it's loaded with heavy metals, synthetic hormones and some pharmaceutical compounds. Not exactly what you want in your next ear of sweet corn. Plus sludge contaminates ground water and aquifers. Peace, D. Mindock ==============================================
The substantial increase in the amount of sewage sludge worldwide has become a major environmental concern. The treatment and disposal of sewage sludge is a never-ending problem for cities around the world which requires innovative new solutions. Because the disposal of sludge consumes more than 30% of the budget of wastewater treatment plants, sludge handling equipment is of vital interest to plant operators. The industry is facing growing social concerns. In all parts of the world there has been a public outcry to keep sewage sludge away from human contact, as it poses a significant health risk. Public concern of the hazards associated with sludge is always a major influence in advancing the use of better equipment, and as a result there is higher motivation to design new types of sludge handling equipment. BioPetrol is developing a commercially viable global solution for turning sewage sludge into oil, saving enormous sums in disposal and saving the earth from the destructive sewage dumping which is ruining the environment. www.BIO-PETROL.com
