Antalya için sürdürülebilir çamur yönetimi seçeneklerinin değerlendirilmesi

One of the most important issues in the operation of the wastewater treatment plant is the management of sludge. In Turkey, domestic/municipal wastewater treatment plants; in 2014, approximately 620,000 tones dry matter of sludge was produced and this amount is expected to be about 895,000 tones dry matter of for 2023. Currently, the most suitable solutions for the management of sewage sludge are being investigated and many projects are being carried out about this subject. In this thesis, it is aimed to make suggestions for the management of domestic and industrial sludges produced in Antalya. For this purpose, based on the year 2017, some information compiled about the amount of existing sewage sludge, the sludge disposal methods and the problems encountered. The most important reason for the sludge problem in Antalya is, the varying wastewater flow rates cause of tourist population and the amount of sludge produced as a result of this change during the year. This situation causes sludge production much higher than the expected sludge amount when the city population is taken into consideration and it makes management quite difficult. In the first stage of the study, population projection was carried out to calculate the amount of sludge to be produced in 2037. The capacity increase is foreseen for industrial sludge, and the quantity estimate was made accordingly to this. Considering the locations and capacities of existing sludge disposal treatments (drying plant, incineration plant, landfilling, cement plants, etc.); various scenarios have been produced for the management of sludges. According to the scenarios, necessary investment costs and sludge transportation costs were calculated.
