Pottery making in Sarawak, Malaysia. Credit: Colin Charles / Flickr Sludge is a by-product of water treatment. Sludge is produced during the clarification and filtration process in the water treatment system. It is also produced from the accumulated solids removed from sedimentation basin or settling tank. The increasing number of water treatment plants has led to a considerable increase insludge generation. The disposal of sludge from water treatment operations poses a problem in Malaysia. The problem is acute because of the scarcity of space to store the sludge. The advantage of water sludge is that it is not considered as hazardous waste. The objective of this project is to reduce the environmental impact generated by the sludge coming from the Water Treatment Plant (WTP), through a new sludge management concept that introduces a method that re-uses sludge as raw material for the structural pottery industry.
