Abstract: The present sludge treatment, disposal methods and estimates future sludge quantities and quality are presented in this study. It is also necessary to consider and evaluate the regional infrastructure for the different methods in order to obtain unitary proposals. The quality of the sludge is of major importance for the usage so therefore the sources for pollutants and sludge quality demands are investigated. Possibilities of having strategies for pollution control are explored, since these are needed in order to improve the quality of the sludge. Different alternatives for sludge treatment such as composting and different disposal methods such as incineration are evaluated. The objectives presented above are very broad and the study focuses on the possibilities of using the sludge as a fertiliser in agriculture. This disposal method is chosen because the usage of sludge in agriculture creates a recycling of nutrients. The usage of sludge as a fertiliser would be a complement to artificial fertilisers, which cost both money and resources to develop. Also the problem with how to dispose the sludge would be solved.
