Water‐treatment processes remove impurities from ground water and surface water. The result of treatment, however, is a form of sludge that must be disposed of properly. Disposal of this sludge constitutes a problem for plant operators. But if the volume of sludge can be reduced prior to treatment, then the problem of disposal can be accomplished more readily.
