Characterization of sludge - Evaluation of sludge density

This draft European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the sludge (bulk) density. The procedure to determine density of the liquid and of the solid fractions of a suspension is described in Annex C.
This document is applicable to sludge suspensions from:
-   storm water handling;
-   urban wastewater collecting systems;
-   urban wastewater treatment plants;
-   treating industrial wastewater similar to urban wastewater (as defined in Directive 91/271 EEC);
-   water supply treatment plants.
This method is also applicable to sludge suspensions from other origin, provided the necessary verifications are done.

EN 17183:2018 (E) 3 European foreword This document (EN 17183:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 308 “Characterization and management of sludge”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.

EN 17183:2018 (E) 4 Introduction Knowledge of density is critical to most unit operations in both (i) wastewater treatments which are affected by the difference of density between solid and liquid, e.g. sedimentation, floatation, and (ii) sludge management operations which are affected by bulk density, e.g. centrifugation, storage, spreading. In particular, the effectiveness of secondary clarifiers and sludge thickeners is enhanced by higher sludge floc density which also increases the dewatered cake concentration at the end of mechanical dewatering. Density also affects the (i) sludge volume and, therefore, the transport costs, and (ii) the sludge fluid-dynamic behaviour and, consequently, the head losses in a pipeline or the thermal coefficient in case of turbulent flow, being the Reynolds number depending from it. Density is also useful in modelling sewage bio-reactor, such as biofilm reactor (biofiltration, fluidzed beds). Densities of the dry solids and of the liquid phase should also allow the sludge origin and its degree of decomposition or stabilization to be roughly evaluated, and density of the liquid could give useful indications on the soluble substrate concentration and on the presence of other substances lighter than water [6].

EN 17183:2018 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies a method for the determination of the sludge (bulk) density. The procedure to determine density of the liquid and of the solid fractions of a suspension is described in Annex C. This document is applicable to sludge suspensions from: — storm water handling; — urban wastewater collecting systems; — urban wastewater treatment plants; — treating industrial wastewater similar to urban wastewater [7]; — water supply treatment plants. This method is also applicable to sludge suspensions from other origin, provided the necessary verifications are done. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp 3.1 (bulk) density mass of material divided by the total volume it occupies 3.2 pycnometer instrument for measuring the density of substances/materials, consisting in a volume-calibrated glass container, often provided with a thermometer and/or a close-fitting ground glass stopper 3.3 relative density ratio of the density of a substance/material to that of a standard substance/material (usually water) SIST EN 17183:2019



EN 17183:2018 (E) 6 4 Principle This method is based on the measurement of the weight and the volume of the sample under examination in standard conditions. The density of any matter depends on its temperature. Nevertheless, in the case of sludge, this effect is covered by measurement uncertainty. In the case of distilled water, the effect of temperature between 15 °C and 25 °C is shown in Annex A. 5 Interferences There are not particular interferences in the evaluation of the sludge density, but the possible presence of air or gas bubbles shall be avoided. 6 Apparatus 6.1

Balance with precision of 0,001 g at least. 6.3
