This document specifies design principles and performance requirements for sludge treatment and storage facilities at wastewater treatment plants serving more than 50 PT. Guidance on operation is provided where it is necessary in order to facilitate the design of control and automation and design access to points of operation. NOTE Other sludges and organic wastes can be treated together with municipal sewage sludge where national and local regulations permit.
