This technical session explores the potential of Sludge Drying Reed Beds (SDRBs) as a nature-based, sustainable alternative for biosolid management within wastewater treatment facilities. Drawing on a case study, lifecycle assessments, and design criteria, the session will evaluate how SDRBs can reduce operational costs and lower the carbon footprint compared to conventional mechanical dewatering systems.
Key topics will include:
- Fundamentals and operational principles of sludge drying reed beds.
- Comparative analysis: SDRBs vs. mechanical dewatering systems.
- Design parameters, maintenance, and site selection.
- Environmental and economic performance assessments.
This event is hosted by the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) Northern Ireland branch and the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Northern Ireland
