= Introduction =

The term sludge is used to identify a range of semi-solid/semi-liquid substances or deposits that can be described as slurry. In a general sense, the term sludge can apply to solids that are separated from suspension in a liquid - as in one of the processes that results in conventional, clean drinking water.

In the United States, sewage sludge is sometimes referred to as septage (when associated with sludge from septic tanks).

= Types of sludge =

In the construction industry, sludge is often produced as a type of mud with a high water content. It is created during the excavation process.

Sludge can be generated through other actions, including activities such as industrial wastewater treatment using biological or chemical processes.

Industrial sludge can sometimes be produced in solid form. This type of sludge can include:

* Sewage sludge from wastewater treatment.
* Faecal sludge from pit latrines and septic tanks.

= Managing sludge =

Generally, sludge contains a significant amount of liquid (which is primarily water). Once it is treated and the liquid is removed, some types of dried sludge can be used as a form of fertiliser.

Food and beverage sludge can sometimes be converted into animal feed.

The use of raw sewage sludge is being explored by scientists as a possible building material option for the construction industry.
