The aim of this work is to present the current state as well as a forecast for coming years in sewage sludge management in Poland after 1 January 2016. New law policy adopted from 1 January 2016 forced certain changes in communal sewage sludge management. Now communal sewage sludge is forbidden to be stored (calorie than 6 MJ / kg), therefore there was a need to increase a percentage share of other methods used for sewage sludge management. In addition there is an expansion of a waste water treatment plants and se...

The main aim of this article is to present the current situation of waste management in Poland. The most frequently used methods of waste treatment, with particular emphasis on the use of thermal methods. In recent years, the stream of municipal waste per capita is constantly increasing which makes the municipal waste management is becoming one of the biggest challenges in the twenty-first century. By 2016, most of the waste was not reused, but its way directly to the landfill. Legal restrictions introduced from 1...

This paper presents the research on the sedimentation process assisted with coagulation process. The main purpose of this project is to determine the method of coagulant dose selection during the sedimentation of the coal suspension. Measurements have been made for various sedimentation intensification techniques: the use of coagulant, the use of lamella, and the use of both techniques simultaneously. The efficiency of the sedimentation process was compared using various intensification techniques. The studies wer...

The paper presents a proposal for validation of a numerical model of a sedimentation process with use of a flow system. The essence of the proposed solution is to verify the numerical model using quantitative data, expressed by the flow rate and concentration of the suspension at the input and output of the device, as well as the qualitative data describing their granulometric composition. The analysis was carried out using a laboratory settler, as a sedimentation device, in which, during the purification process ...
