Emissions of methane and carbon dioxide during composting and vermicomposting of sewage sludge
Original language description
The objective of this study was to evaluate the emissions of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) during thermophilic composting and vermicomposting of sewage sludge. Four treatments were set up (1) 100% sewage sludge, (2) 75% sewage sludge + 25% pelletized wheat straw (w/w), (3) 50% sewage sludge (w/w) + 50% pelletized wheat straw(w/w), (4) 25% sewage sludge + 75% pelletized wheat straw (w/w). All the treatments were transferred to fermenter barrels for 60 days for composting and also the same treatments used in composting were transferred to worm-bins for vermicomposting. CH4 and CO2 concentration in the gas phase released from treatments were measured. The results indicated that both thermophilic composting and vermicomposting produces a significant amount of CH4 and CO2 emissions from all treatments.
