Evaluation of methods for evaluating lime incorporation in dewatered sludge and their use for process evaluation and optimization of post-lime stabilization

    poorly incorporated lime

Poor incorporation of lime (visible as white chunks) into dewatered sludge can result in odors and limit biosolids application.
