Objective
The aim of this project is to demonstrate the quality-management method for the sludge recycling in agriculture by monitoring the whole of treatment system. The challenge is to ensure that the sludge agricultural outlet is reliable and still competitive compared with landfilling and incineration. Results foreseen are the validation of an innovative methodology, the validation of efficient and reproductible management tools and a written commitment of the producers on the quality of the sludge.
The project will be located in Saint-Thibault-des-Vignes, Seine-et-Marne. This site has been selected because it is representative of most of the European sewer systems recycling sludge in agriculture.
The project proposer is Anjou Recherche, the research centre of the Generale des Eaux Group in the field of water treatment. The partnership includes: SFDE (a water treatment company), SEDE (a company specialized in sludge recycling) and Orval (an agricultural specialist).
Recycling of sludge in agriculture is of interest for 4 reasons : (1) it is an important outlet for the increasing of sludge production in Europe (2,5 millions tonnes dry solid per year today and 4,5 millions tonnes dry solid per year in 2005), (2) it uses the sludge fertilising value, (3) it is a cost-effective solution for sludge disposal compared with landfilling and incineration, and (4)it is consistent with the sustainable development approach (natural recycling of sludge componing).
But the quality of the sludge can be an obstacle to its recycling. It is therefore essential to guarantee this quality, from the chemical, physical and biological point of views.
