Title
Optimization of sludge treatment technology from municipal wastewater treatment plants with regard to their chemical and microbial composition and ability to retain water with the aim of their safe use on agricultural and forest land
Code
QK21010300
Summary
The aim of the project is to develop and analyze mixed substrates or auxiliary soil substances or
plant preparations (hereinafter referred to as substrates) using dewatered stabilized sludge from
municipal wastewater treatment plants. The substrates will be usable for forest and agricultural
applications. The optimization of the composition and properties will be performed mainly for the
cultivation of tree seedlings intended for the remediation of the "bark beetle calamity" and for
other purposes (cultivation of ornamental plants and crops). The proportion of sanitized sludge is
assumed to be up to 50% by weight of the total dry matter of the substrate. Other components of
the substrates will be stabilized biomass such as peat, compost, solid fraction of anaerobic
digestates.
