Management of Effluent and Sludge from Treatment Systems
The type of effluent and sludge produced in developing countries especially in rural centres is known to be primarily of sewage characteristics.

As such, the common practice of using combined wastewater treatment should be capable of treating wastewater which contains not only typical bacteria and chemical constituents but also complicated organic substances and heavy metals. Sludge from these systems is no longer the stabilised harmless sludge but is a hazardous type that requires proper disposal or treatment prior to reuse.
