Article Synopsis
  • Sewage sludge must be stabilized to reduce pathogens and comply with environmental regulations, with three processes (MAD-AT, TAD, and TP-TAD) compared for producing Class A biosolids.
  • Molecular methods indicated no presence of dangerous bacteria like Salmonella in treated samples, although culture techniques found some; TP-TAD effectively reduced E. coli levels better than TAD alone, but some E. coli entered a viable but non-culturable state.
  • All three stabilization processes produced Class A biosolids that met safety standards after storage, highlighting that the TP step impacts E. coli viability and should be carefully considered in treatment approaches.
