USING MIXTURE OF GRIT AND MATURE COMPOST AS BULKING AGENT: ITS EFFECT ON
COMPOSTING EFFICIENCY AND COMPOST QUALITY.
2nd International Conference and Exhibition Sustainable Water Supply and Sanitation 2012
Authors: Helalley Helalley, Hussein M. Elashqar
Primary wastewater treatment plants in Alexandria produce large amounts of Grit and sand as one of the
major solid wastes arising from the preliminary treatment stage, which represents a problem in disposal of
these large quantities which are around 811 m3/month, (27 m3/day). On the other hand, one of the main
sludge composting management problems is to provide the bulking agents with affordable costs.
Co-composting of primary sewage sludge with matured compost, together with grit and sand was carried out
to solve the problem of grit and sand disposal, this technique improved the sludge composting efficiency and
the final compost quality.
Dewatered primary sludge was mixed with matured compost and grit and sand as a bulking agent at 9:2:1
(v/v), and the mixtures were composted for 60 days. Addition of grit and sand raised slightly the inorganic
portion of the sludge compost, and rose significantly the temperature in the first composting stage, therefore
significantly increased the decomposition activity due to the facilitation of homogenicity of the mixture
which resulted in high mixture porosity which improved air exchange within the mixture. The numbers of
microbial pathogens were significantly decreased to the safe permitted limits as a result of the raise in
temperature, thus produced a final safe product.
This technique not only improved the composting operation in terms of temperature, moisture content,
mixture porosity, oxygen content (up to 5%). But also reduce the cost of composting operation and solve the
problem of grit and sand disposal.
A VISION FOR FUTURE SLUDGE MANAGEMENT IN ALEXANDRIA
1st International Conference & Exhibition on Sustainable Water Supply and Sanitation SWSSC 2010 July 25,
2010
Authors: Helalley Helalley, Chem. Hussein Mohamed Abdou Elashqar (2) Dr. Samaa Maher Abdel Aziz
After full operation of secondary treatment at the East and West treatment plants, the future production of
sludge from these plants and from Amriya and Agamy secondary treatment plants in addition to the rest 14
secondary treatment plants all around Alexandria is expected to exceed than 1200 m3/d by 2015 thus the
capacity if the sludge disposal site should exceed. Therefore, the future sewage sludge management
represents a critical environmental issue in Alexandria, this management includes sludge dewatering,
handling, transportation cost to the disposal sites and the final product marketing.
As the capacity of Alexandria sludge disposal system will be limited by the increase in sludge production
and the current management system, there is an immediate need to investigate ways to establish a future
management system and to demonstrate successful operations at higher sludge producing rates.
Currently, Site 9N the sole disposal site in Alexandria include a composting plant established when the site
was initially developed as a dedicated disposal area for sludge. Consequently, land spreading of the sludge on
the dedicated disposal area has ceased and all of the current production of raw sludge is now being composted

The present study aims to evaluate the current efficiency of the sludge management system and adopt a future
vision for the Alexandria sludge system and recommend modifications to protect public health and
environment.
