Why stop at microbes? We have developed a system that uses worms (tiger worms or Eisenia fetida) to treat sludge produced by conventional biological treatment. Liquid sludge is fed into the plant and the worms within it (~10,000/m2) feast on the solids. The resulting effluent has a loading characteristic similar to domestic sewage, which makes it to very easy to treat. In short a system which significantly reduces sludge treatment costs, removing the need for complex dewatering systems, tankers and the high on-costs for disposal. PM me for more details.
