Abstract
In the sludge disposal of The Sanitary District of Chicago (Ill.) a method has been worked out by a chain of experiments to dewater and heat dry activated sludge for use as fertilizer material or for incineration. The principles of design are indicated from the heat standpoint together with the control of odors. A typical heat balance is presented, with a discussion of the relative merits of various fuels. At the Southwest Works a combination of power generation with heat drying has been successfully used.
