Hygienization of sewage sludge by gamma irradiation: experience with an operating pilot plant

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6484483
;
A pilot plant for the gamma irradiation of sewage sludge was built in 1972/73 for practical testing and research purposes. This plant with a maximum daily capacity of 150 cu m sludge had been operating during a test-period of 28 months with daily capacity of 30 cu m. From December 1975 the plant has been irradiating 120 cu m of sludge per day.
