Significance for science
The project was defined predominantly applicative, so are the results.
An important contribution are sought in terms of transposition of up-to-date knowledge of sustainable wastewater and sludge treatment, comprehensive characterization procedures (sampling, preparation, analysis according to standard methods), validation methods, statistically supported interpretation and presentation of the results; development of environmental metrology: validation of methods, standardization of procedures, acreditation of laboratories, statistical treatment of results, introduction of quality control systems for selected matrices: sludge, alternative fuel, compost, soil;
laboratory testing of nationally representative sludge samples by advanced treatment methods (pyrolysis, gasification, plasma incineration).
The projest was incorporated into international network of wastewater and sludge characterisation FATE - SEES, organised by European Joint Research Centre.
Significance for the country
In Slovenia sewadge sludge has been traditionally landfilled, that is now banned by law. land used, the amounts applied are declining. No wastewater treatment plant is equipped with an incineration plant and there is no municipal waste incineration plant either. Shortage of disposal option is severe. Recently issued regulation on conversion of non-hazardous waste (as the case of sewage sludge) to the alternative solid fuels offers promising disposal option, which has been thoroughly checked, developed and utilized. Other potential alternatives like alternativ solid fuel production, composting and land use (in various forms) hasd been checked, using new legislation and quality standards. Carefully planned sampling and analysis was performed over 6-12 months period and the results statistically trerated. An appropriate control and information system was designed and proposed to enable safe and transparet operation of the new activities.
