Dear Aasim,
I recommend you to have a look at Chapter 2 of the FSM book on faecal sludge characterization. You will find following this link: www.eawag.ch/fileadmin/Domain1/Abteilung.../FSM_Ch02_lowres.pdf
You common parameters for characterization of faecal sludge to plan and design faecal sludge treatment are:
- pH, electric conductivity, temperature
- Total solids
- Total suspended solids
- Biological and chemical oxygen demand
- Total phosphorus, phosphate
- Total Nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, total kjeldhal nitrogen
This is a long list of parameters and might not be economical for every project. pH, electric conductivity, total solids, total suspended solids and chemical oxygen demand gives you a good idea what kind of sludge you are dealing with.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Moritz

Hi All,
I would like to know from the forum users regarding which type of quality parameters need to be tested for septage/fecal sludge collected from HHs and community toilet septic tanks , before planning for a septage treatment option.
It would be great if you could share any quality test results that have been taken for septage.
Many thanks.

Aasim
