- W2298508734 abstract "The purpose of this thesis is to propose a sludge management strategy for the city of Alfenas, Brazil. Lacking wastewater treatment facilities, Alfenas, and other cities in the Furnas Reservoir region, are polluting the already drought compromised reservoir, which also serves as their drinking water source. Chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT) is recommended as a cost effective and feasible wastewater treatment system (Olive 2002). The CEPT plant, designed for the city of Alfenas, will serve as a model for the Furnas Reservoir region. A financially feasible strategy for the treatment and beneficial use of the sludge produced by the proposed plant is presented in this thesis. Based on data collected during a field study, conducted in Alfenas in January 2002, and an examination of U.S. and Brazilian regulations on the use of sludge, a sludge treatment system has been designed. Treatment recommendations include disinfection, thickening, and drying the sludge, making it available for use as a fertilizer on local crops. In this study sludge application to coffee crops, the dominent agricultural product in the area, was evaluated as a potential beneficial use strategy. The nutrient value of the sludge was assessed and preliminary land application rates have been calculated. A pilot study at the Unversity of Alfenas coffee farm has been recommended to further study the fertilizer value of the sludge and determine appropriate application rates.
