Bioenergy Production from Municipal Sewage Sludge

Published as part of Dr. Yves Gangon’s Woodhead Series on Bioenergy and broken into eight chapters, Bioenergy Production from Municipal Sewage Sludge: Technological Advancements and Greenhouse Gases Emissions, this book considers various bioenergy production applications and sewage waste sludge treatments that promote further development of bioenergy - a key player in the industry’s transition to net zero. Specific chapters cover topics including bioenergy production in the sludge anaerobic digestion process, pyrolysis of sludge for bioenergy production, and the potential limitations or challenges of bioenergy production from sludge. This book also carefully considers greenhouse gas emissions and control in sludge treatment processes. Written for undergraduate and graduate students studying environmental science, engineering, or related fields, as well as industrial researchers and practitioners, and wastewater treatment plant operators alike, Bioenergy Production from Municipal Sewage Sludge: Technological Advancements and Greenhouse Gases Emissions is sure to be a welcomed resource.

• Introduces bioenergy production via sludge bio-stabilization and /or treatments
• Presents bioenergy production technology through pyrolysis of sludge
• Discusses bioenergy purification technologies during different sludge treatments
• Offers an evaluation of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from traditional sludge treatments and disposals
