Brief description of ToR
Sludge generation is a key component associated with sustainable wastewater management. In order for sludge to be disposed or used, sludge need to be characterised or classified. Historically, sludge has been classified in three main categories in a decreasing order of potential to cause odour nuisances and fly-breeding as well as to transmit pathogenic organisms to the environment. These categories are described in the guide Permissible Utilisation and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (PUDSS) published by the Water Research Commission (WRC) in 1997 (Edition 1).
