Assessment of Energy Potential and Valorization of Sewage Sludge as Biomass

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: " Sewage sludge (SS), a bioresidue rich in organic matter and nutrients,presents substantial potential for energy generation, biofuel production, and thedevelopment of sustainable bioproducts. This study aimed to assess the calorific valueof SS and evaluate its potential as a biomass resource. A sample of SS was collectedfrom a wastewater treatment plant in Aracaju - Sergipe, and subjected tophysicochemical characterizations. The elemental analysis showed a carbon contentof 35.93% and a high calorific value of 17.43 MJ/kg, validating SS as an efficient energysource. These findings underscore the importance of sustainable waste managementstrategies, contributing to the circular economy through waste treatment and bioenergyproduction. "
