Sludge is removed from the aeration basins and placed in a digester to reduce the amount of volatile solids and to allow the sludge to thicken. Supernate is decanted and returned to the head of the plant. The thickened solids are taken to the Hickory Regional Compost Facility in Newton, NC for further processing into compost material. During the composting process, the sludge is stabilized sufficiently to meet all vector attraction and pathogen reduction requirements. Once dry, the cured compost is distributed to various entities to be used as a soil amendment.
