Anaerobic Co-digestion of Municipal Wastewater Sludge and Biodiesel Waste Glycerin Project
The Edmonton Waste Management Centre of Excellence (EWMCE) and the University of Alberta, with support from CFM and WERF, partnered to develop a pilot-scale anaerobic co-digestion system to study the effects of biodiessel waste glycerin (BWG) on anaerobic digestion of municipal wastewater sludge (MWS). read more ...

Time Temperature Testing in a Biosolids Composting Facility
Compost piles act like self-heating ovens, and guidelines indicate they need to reach 55°C in order to kill human pathogens associated with biosolids from municipal wastewater treatment. Co-composting of biosolids with organic waste materials (like woodchips) is an approved method in Canada to reduce sewage sludge pathogens. The EWMCE and its partners developed customized temperature probes and used them to evaluate the effectiveness of static pile composting to heat all the particles in the pile, to ensure pathogen destruction and a safe product. read more ...
