ABSTRACT
Sewage sludge originates from the process of treatment of municipal wastewater. In parallel with the enhancement and increase of sewage treatment plants to comply with more and more exigent environmental policies, production of sewage sludge has also increased and it is expected to increase even more. Although sludge treatment and disposal should be considered as an integral part of wastewater treatment, its handling is still one of the most significant challenges in wastewater management [1].
