This is a report on the sewage sludge incineration fuel reduction program at the Nashville-Davidson County Metropolitan Government wastewater treatment plant in Nashville, Tennessee. Fuel usage was reduced over 40 percent by reprogramming the methods used for operating the incinerators and by an operator training program. The purpose of the report is to confirm that the 45 to 75 percent fuel savings demonstration at the Indianapolis, Indiana, Belmont Wastewater Treatment Plant incinerator is not limited to the Belmont Plant, but can be accomplished at all sewage sludge incinerator plants in the United States.
