Abstract:

The Easton Wastewater Treatment Plant is considering changes to its sludge  handling and disposal processes, to reduce the high liquid content in the end  product and reduce disposal costs.   In this project, a team of Lafayette College  students in Sustainable Solutions, Engineering Studies 480, will examine current systems used by the plant and analyze alternative solutions, taking into account environmental, financial, and regulatory factors.  The team will focus on the possibility of a pipeline for methane gas from the nearby Chrin Landfill to provide power for the necessary equipment.
