Conference on
Thermal
Conversion of
Municipal
Sludge
March 21-24, 1983
Sheraton-Hartford Hotel
Hartford, CT
-------
Purpose
The International Conference on Thermal Conversion of
Municipal Sludge is being sponsored by EPA s Office of
Research and Development as part of its Technology
Transfer Program This conference will disseminate the
latest information on the design and operation of sludge
treatment and disposal systems, emphasizing thermal
conversion systems.
Thermal conversion systems such as incineration have
not, in recent years, been considered viable alternatives
for sludge treatment and disposal for a variety of rp/isons.
namely, the inability to produce a reliable and satic,ta<::iorv
feed, the escalation of fuel costs, and the control of air
emissions Al the same time, there have been instances m
which small, rural plants have been forced to turn to
incineration because land has been scarce or public
opposition to either land application or landfillmg has been
strong
This conference will evaluate various types of thermal
conversion systems and point out their strengths and
weaknesses It will also emphasize the necessity for
considering and evaluating the energy and cost balances
involved in the total sludge management tram, including
dewatenng, combustion, air pollution control, aph dis
posal. ami the thermal process itself
Target Audience
Consulting engineers, municipal design engineers, and
federal, state, and local officials concerned with pollution
control and abatement are invited to participate
