The sludge is sometimes passed through a so-called pre-thickener which de-waters the sludge. Types of pre-thickeners include centrifugal sludge thickeners, [3] rotary drum sludge thickeners and belt filter presses. [4] Dewatered sludge may be incinerated or transported offsite for disposal in a landfill or use as an agricultural soil amendment. [5]

The EC encourages the use of sewage sludge in agriculture because it conserves organic matter and completes nutrient cycles. European countries that joined the EU after 2004 favor landfills as a means of disposal for sewage sludge. [81] In 2006, the predicted sewage sludge growth rate was 10 million tons of sewage sludge per year. [82]

Extended aeration agitates all incoming waste in the sludge from a single clarifier. The combined sludge starts with a higher concentration of inert solids than typical secondary sludge and the longer mixing time required for digestion of primary solids in addition to dissolved organics produces aged sludge requiring greater mixing energy input per unit of waste oxidized.
Initially no treatment of the sewage was undertaken, it was discharged directly into the Thames. [1] Later primary sedimentation tanks were added to separate solids from the liquid effluent. The works were expanded with new sedimentation tanks in 1926 and 1960. Sludge handling equipment was installed at various times between 1931 and 1951. [4]
One type of system that combines secondary treatment and settlement is the cyclic activated sludge (CASSBR), or sequencing batch reactor (SBR). Typically, activated sludge is mixed with raw incoming sewage, and then mixed and aerated. The settled sludge is run off and re-aerated before a proportion is returned to the headworks. [19]
