Abstract

The technological properties of municipal sewage sludge indicate various possibilities of its management. They also have potential for use as a renewable energy source. The paper uses own research on the fuel properties of municipal sewage sludge, analyses the results of the research, assesses the potential of the sewage sludge as a renewable energy source and indicates the possibilities of its management. The research shows high values of combustion heat and high content of total organic matter in the analysed sewage sludge.
