An example of sludge drying Reed Beds (RBs) implementation: the Mojkovac case

Treatment of wastewater Sludge or Manure from livestock (TSM) in a Nordic or alpine environment: an example of sludge drying reed beds implementation

  • Publication | 2025

Sludge drying reed beds (RBs) enable sewage sludge dewatering, stabilization, mineralization and hygenization. They are an alternative to mechanical treatment (e.g. belt presses, centrifuges). In the process, sludge is spread on a filter media (substrate) of an open bed after which drainage and evaporation takes place. Planted RBs enable effective dewatering of sewage sludge and produce a mineralized product that can be used as a soil amendment in agriculture and other uses.
