The dose must be sufficient to maintain a pH of > 12 and a temperature > 50 °C during the 24 hour contact time. Application rate : 0,15-1,5 kg product/kg dry weight of substrate; typical dry solids content - 12-25 % in sewage sludge. The ratio may vary between application and treatment plant designs. The user must ensure that the treatment is effective through preliminary laboratory test that guarantee efficacy according to the legislation applicable to each case.
The loading of the product into the treatment unit and the application must be done fully automatically.
