What is PD CEN/TR 15126 ‒ Characterization of sludges about?
PD CEN/TR 15126 gives one of a series of sludge management options and describes good practices for the disposal of sludges and sludge treatment residues to landfills where national regulations permit.
PD CEN/TR 15126 is applicable to the sludges described in the scope of CEN/TC 308, i.e. specifically derived from:
stormwater handling
night soil
urban wastewater collecting systems
urban wastewater treatment plants
treating industrial wastewater similar to urban wastewater (as defined in Directive 91/271/EEC)
water supply treatment plants
water distribution systems
but excluding hazardous sludges from the industry.
Who is PD CEN/TR 15126 ‒ Characterization of sludges for?
BS EN 14702 on the characterization of sludges is useful for entities dealing with:
Wastewater collecting systems
Wastewater treatment plants
Plants treating industrial wastewater
Water supply treatment plants
Why should you use PD CEN/TR 15126 ‒ Characterization of sludges ?
In wastewater treatment plants, sludge thickening occurs in the lower layers of clarifiers and in separate thickening tanks. A number of parameters have been developed to obtain a quantitative measure of the settle ability of sludge.
PD CEN/TR 15126 characterizes practices and methods that can be easily performed and has widespread use in routine process control for sludge quality comparison.
