Survey data of sewage sludge treatment and disposal routes originated from activated sludge water treatment in France.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents data collected from a survey on sewage sludge treatment and disposal routes originated from activated sludge water treatment in France. The data of 3,679 wastewater treatment plants - representing 52% of WWTP using activated sludge and 69% of sludge disposed by these WWTP - were collected from several French organisms such as SATESE (technical support for wastewater treatment plants), water supply agencies, internal service of agricultural Chambers and public administrations in 71 French departments. The survey allows a detailed description of the processes used for sewage sludge treatment (i.e. thickening, dewatering, stabilization, drying) as well as the type of disposal routes (i.e. land application, incineration, landfill.) and the related amount of sewage sludge disposed in dry matter tons. The data are provided in a raw and analyzed form within the Excel file provided with this article.
