Septage dewatering and composting in Norway
Article Abstract:
The onsite treatment of domestic wastewater is the prevalent waste management method in rural areas of Norway. Norway's waste disposal practice is both cost-effective and competitive in comparison to US. Vennesla town provides public sewers with wastewater treatment facility to 85% of the population and onsite disposal systems to the rest. The septage from septic tanks is conditioned with polymer and the sludge cake is blended with softwood bark and treated further. The mobile septage dewatering truck on Askoy Island has an filtrate storage unit and dewaters about 2,000 tanks per year.
